Default crossbones rear brake question..
Hi,
I'm getting ready to change the rear brakes on my '08 crossbones and there is a pin that goes through the brake pads and I'm not sure if it's a 12 point metric socket I need.
Can someone help..
thanks.
Mike...

Default I've only changed mine once...
...and if I remember correctly...it was an internal torx socket that I used. I'd have to double check though so don't quote me on that.

it is a torx I'd have to double check the size. But if you have a torx set you should be set to go. Deacon
