It's out.
The smaller (3 mm) extractor got stuck in the screw and I was beginning to wonder if I'm going to make it worse
. Rotated the 3mm extractor out and moved on to the 4mm extractor. It came out easily. In hindsight, I think the chuck on the drill wasn't tightened enough for the 3mm extractor.
The screw which came out looked ok - but had some of the white powdery stuff in the center.
The new screw did go in easy - so it looks like the threads are good on the reservoir.
Pads replaced. Rode for a short distance and things seem to be good. Now to move on to the speedbleeder installs and bleed the fluids all around - what could go wrong
?
for all the suggestions and encouragement.
