Looking at changing out the brake pads on a 2012 superglide. Have the manual. What tool do I need to loosen the pin. Somewhat of an inverted torx?

 

If yours is the same as my 04 it's a 12 point socket.

 

10mm and 8mm 12 point sockets

 

Have never heard of 12 point sockets. Thanks. Does Harley use all these different types of fasteners just to make it too expensive to work on things yourself.

 

Its the way of the beast these days. Cant find any piece of equipment that is simple or uniform.

 

Torx and 12 point fasteners are the best when it comes to line production work.
