Default 06 Softail banjo bolt sizes

Ok, am I missing something here? The service manual doesn't seem to list what size fasteners it's talking about. Here and there it will give you a torx size but not very often?

Anyway, I'm trying to get the right sockets (all my tools are in storage, long story) to change out my brake lines and the only thing I've found in the forums point to 12 pt sockets either 10 or 12 mm to remove the banjo bolts. On my 2006 FXSTB I can't fit either??? Front master cyl seems to be an 11mm 12 pt nut and the rest (frt caliper, and both rear) seem to be 3/8" 12 pt nuts. Although none of them seem to fight completely solid.

Anybody know the correct specs? I don't want to start rounding bolts off. Is there a table in the service manual I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

12 point sockets is right but they are SAE, not metric. If its a little hard to fit over the bolt head that is good as they don't strip so easy. you could probably get a whole set of sockets at some place such as Harbor Freight cheap.
Good luck,
Woody
