Default Fork Cap Bolt Question.
Can someone tell me what size wrench/socket is needed to remove the fork cap bolt on a 2010 Electra Glide Ultra Classic?

Off the top of my head I can't remember, but you can use the axle nut wrench that comes in the toolkit.

My special low profile socket measures 35mm. If you can't find a 35, a 36mm would work fine. Here's what I use:

Low Country Joe has the correct idea for sure! Just any old socket really sucks for what you are trying to do. Search Heartland Products on Amazon, and the socket is short enough to work and only $20-30!

I used wrench in tool kit 36mm. I had a socket but there is not enough room in there for socket.

My 36mm axle wrench was too big for my '11 RGU. It was OK to loosen, as it was very lose. It was too large to properly tighten.
