G'Day.

Does anyone know where (in Sydney if possible) I can purchase a 1/4 inch 12 point socket, as I need one to replace my front brake pads.

I have tried numerous tools shops in western sydney (Campbelltown area) with no luck????

If I cant get one from Australia. Is it possible to use another tool???

Cheers.

Tool shop (Just Tools??) just over the other side of Liverpool bridge heading north, if not there about 200m up the road is Glenfords

PS you can also buy 12 points in an Allen Key set type style.

I have a wee 1/4 inch 12 point ringkey , had it for near 30 years !

Harley brake pads replacement is it's only job now

Most 1/4 inch sockets will be "hex" of course by now , so be careful

You are very restricted for space , so a tool with a thick shoulder won't go into the recess to grip the bolt enough

Round them off and yer fucked so again be careful

Mate I bought some at Total tools, up here not sure about down there but I'd be surprised if Glenfords don't have one. If you don't have any luck send me a message and I will get you one from here.

Cheers Guy's.
I tried Glenford's tools but had no luck.
I'll try Total Tools near Liverpool tomorrow.
If I do no good I will certainly give you a yell Simmac18.
I would hate to try something like a spanner and strip the little bitch.

Have you tried a 12 point ring spanner?  That's what I use.

Cheer,

Kincrome make em. $4.80 from Bunnings as a single socket.

Bunnings sells a few sets, as does supercheap, as does BigW (Cresent brand?).

BINGO.

Got one at Total Tools Liverpool.
Thanks' for all the help fellow bikers.
Can now swap my old brake pads out to Lyndall Pads.

Good onya mate.

+1 for the Lyndall Brake Pads... very long mileage and less dust residue on the chrome spokes!!
