Default Caliper Pad Pin:12 Point 1/4"

10 MM 12 Point for brake calipers? 12 Point 1/4" socket was really hard to find in a single. I didnt have many 12 point this small so I had to buy a 12 point set. A 7mm 8 point feels like it would fit but the front brake pad pin for 02 FLHR is 12 point 1/4".

Spark plugs have always been metric thread. Sometimes the metric thread does a better job at holding things together. Actually the whole system once you get a handle on it, is way more accurate. As long as we don't change to metric time I'm good with it.

Yea, Its way more convienient too if its ALL metric. What I hate is the almost-all-SAE with a couple of odd metric thrown in- like 6mm hex on front fork!

Caliper bolts are 12-pt. 10mm bolts. Just like the battery bolts, they've been 10 mm for over 25 years, can't say how far back they go.

You need a 10mm 12 point for the caliper bolts and a 1/4 " 12 point for the pad pins.
