Default What size socket for brake pad change.

I have to buy the socket to change brake pads on an Electra glide.

Looks like a 12 point 7ish mm. Can anyone verify the size socket?

For the smaller bolts that hold the pads, 12 point 1/4".

............. easy to strip the threads or over tighten the pad pins.
