What socket type/size is needed ?
About to change rear brake pads on my 08 Softail.
What type/size socket do I need for the different 12 pt. bolts I'm dealing with ?
Shop manual is clear about procedure & torque but nothing said about
exactly what bolt type or sizes I'm dealing with...
Clearly I have to get a set of 12 pt. sockets (all only have 6 pt. sockets sets)
but are they SAE or Metric ?
Pad pin.............?
Mounting bolt.....?
Slider pin...........?
Can someone help ?

I see ..........
Wonder why the hell HD uses Fuc&?**&?!*%'n metric ?????????
So I gess I should get a smal set of both Metric & SAE 12 pt sockets...
(Must admit it's kind of funny to find both Metric & SAE sizes on
same brake Pad/Caliper set...........)
Why the hell an all American Cie. if any...... uses a combination of metric
& SAE mesures.????????
Maybe HD figures this will discourage average Joe to do basic maitenance
in his home garage & head down to local HD dealer at first occasion ....?
Just saying................
Don't get me wrong, I spend my fair share of $$ at local shop, but part of
regular maitenance is part of the fun.............
