Trying to change rear brake pads on 2009 Softail Custom
Can anyone tell me what tool fits this? Item No2 refered to as pad pin.
I've got the brake caliper off but i can find any socket that will fit this pin.
Closest socket is 7mm but i think it need to be 12 sided socket?
12 sided socket. (imperial)
1/4 12 point
Thanks Ol Skool, You couldn't tell me what size it is? Instructions (See Below) in manual have metric in instructions, & as you can see from above i have been told several sizes?
Rear Brake Caliper Removal 1. Remove right saddlebag, if present. 2. See Figure 1-35. Loosen, but do not remove, pad pin (2)(metric). 3. Remove mounting bolt (1) and slider pin (3). Pull rear caliper with pads away from brake disc. 4. Remove pad pin and pads. Note the pad's original orientation for replacement purposes.
Thanks for the help guys.
Found this set on Trade Tools site-would this cover it?

HWG, it 'may' be a 6mm but the 1/4 inch is close enough that it makes f'all difference.
I had a similar issue with the rear brake on a FatBob recently.
