Default Rear Break Pad Replacment
Alright, got my ne pads went out back to put them on (done it o a thousand other bike) and...........no 12 point 1/4" socket. So Igo to sears to get one, no luck. Hardware store & homedepot .....nothing. Snap on site & mac. No dice. So I go to the dealership and they don't have them. Where in the HE*l do I get a 12 point 1/4" socket. It's like a 5 minute job and I'm pulling the rest of my hair out.

I got one at Sears...had some trouble with one of the torx fittings when I did mine (was situated directly behind the swing arm I think). Let us know how it goes.

I have a 1/4" 12 point box-end wrench I use. I think I got it at Home Depot.
