Is there a special socket for removing 12 pt bolts on brake calipers?

 

10mm 12 point

 

12pt box end wrench

 

Screw that a socket and ratchet gives you more rotation instead of flippn the wrench cause it hits the swing-arm, but thats just my experince specially when using loc-tite.

 

100% agree, but if his luck is like mine, the 12pt socket he needs will be missing. The wrench was my saving grace, but it was a pain!!!!

 

caliper bolts require 12 point 10 mm. Box end works good but slow. Socket works much better but a deep well socket works best.

Brake pins require 12 point 1/4". Imo, a thin wall socket is required .

 

Thanks guys I have one of those in my tool box just was not sure if I was supposed to be using something special.
