I was planning to replace my front brake discs and before starting I wanted to to remove some of the brake fluid from the reservoir as it was way over the top level. I anticipated I would have to push in the pistons and would need the space in the reservoir.
One of the screw heads on the reservoir has got gouged out (I did use a JIS head).
I'm hoping I'll be able to take it out with a straight screwdriver. Is there any other approach which might have a higher chance of succeeding?
I remember seeing a thread about replacing those screws with allen key head screws. I cannot find that thread. Are there any other replacement screws I could find in a hardware store to use here? Or does someone know what terms I could search with to find the other thread?
Any help is appreciated.
