Default Need a socket

Getting ready to do a brake job on my 2000 Ultra, and for the life of me, I can't find a 12 point, 1/4 inch, 3/8's drive socket. Anywhere to get one online without paying a small fortune on shipping?

Good luck and socket must be thin wall

Are you talking about using it to pull the small screws that hold the pads in caliper?
I use a 12 point metric myself. I think a 9 or ten.
But eitherway, just get a 1/4 inch drive ratchet and socket.
They aren't that tight.

Go with the 12 point box end wrench. I got mine at NAPA for about $3.

Why's it gotta be a 3/8 drive? A Craftsman 1/4 drive 1/4" 12 pt socket is what I use.
