what size?
Just changed my brake pads today on my 04 heritage classic, first time on a bike but it was way easier than a car. anyway I could not find a socket or wrench to fit the valve or whatever the hell you call it (the part you loosen to bleed the brakes) anyway Im thinking I needed a 9.5mm wrench. Is this correct?
I was able to get the job done without needing to bleed em' but id like to find the right wrench for next time.

yeah 3/8 fit fairly well but began stripping it if I put too much pressure so thats why I just assumed it would be metric like some of the other bolts on the caliper. then when 9mm was too small and 10mm was too big I assumed it was 9.5 afterall I was able to find a 5.5mm and a 7.5mm in my toolbox so it must be 9.5mm right. then I went to work and tried to get the maintenence guys to order me one out of their catalogs. they loved it. they also offered to order me things like bolt stretchers, left handed pipe wrenches or anything I wanted out of the basement. bunch o' dicks. lol
