Default Pad Pin socket size?

I could not find the answer in the tech section, so I just thought I would ask generally. I have a 2006 Electra Glide Classic. Does anybody know the wrench/socket size for the Pad Pins? They are 12 point drive and as far as I can tell, they are larger than 1/4" but a bit smaller than 7mm (I'm using 6 point sockets). I don't have a full set of 12 point sockets, but I'll go out and buy one if I can find out the correct size. Anybody know? Thanks.

I rummaged through the greasy bottom of two tool boxes and came up with a 12 point socket of an older design. The wall of the socket is a bit thick and will not fit in the counterbore around the screw head. So I really cannot tell if the size is right or not. I'm going to pick up a new socket anyway. Hell, they're cheap enough. Thanks!

Okay. That settles it. As in most things that confuse me, the answer turns out to be simple. Thanks Guys!
