Brake pads
I am replacing my brake pads on my 08 Street Glide the rears were no problem .
But the front brakes the two bolts that hold the caliper to the forks take a special size star socket . I got the socket but can not get two of the bolts off . I rounded them off, so now I trying to figure out what to do easy out ,vise grips any sugestions?

Do you own a USA car made in the past 25 years? The fasteners are metric.

Its a Japanese front end. "Showa" and has a 10 mm 12 point. You either used the wrong socket or a damn cheap correct one. This is why it pays to have good quality tools
