Default Fork drain screws

Can anyone tell me what the size of the fork drain screws are? Looked on line and only found the park number and not the description. Thanks in advance as always.

Not sure on exact size, but once you remove those suckers, replace em with allen head bolts. I had to clamp vise grips on my oem screws to break them loose. I have a screwdriver with a flat area near the handle for attaching a wrench for some extra torque, and even that would not budge them.

think there 5/16 . I just had mine out to do the mono tubes. and don't replace them its not like you have any reason to take them out really other then to change springs the left one is a little tricky. if your pulling the entire twr out. take 2 2x4s cut a notch in 1 and fasten them both to your work bench it helps. unless you have another pair of hands
