Dealing with a stuck JIS screw

[GoldOxide_imp]

Socrates would be proud of us! Good discussion, 2017EX!

I didn't find stainless Torx so I went with hex socket / Allen. It did occur to me that one minor advantage of Allen is the ability to carry very small wrench to remove the cover on the road if necessary. But, I've never had to remove the cover on the road so that's a pretty weak argument, lol.

I got mine on eBay. Most of the Torx there are the softer 304 stainless, but this listing is for 316 A4-70 stainless, I had to contact the seller to find out how many screws are included, answer 20 pieces for $6 shipped. Drop down box in the listing has several sizes, including M4x12 for this Mod. It will be coming from Taiwan/Hong Kong/China, but I am in no hurry. Fortunately I had my shop flush, bleed and install new fluid recently, so stuck OEM screws will not be an issue. Five years ago I would have done it myself, but now I don't trust my shaky hands around that caustic brake fluid, LOL.

Ah, OK. I'm impatient so I always set "US Only" for the ships-from. The [url=https://www.ebay.com/itm/371734610897]grade of stainless wasn't specified so it's likely 18-8 304. I dabbed them with a bit of copper anti-seize and am good to go.

The look is clean Stichill.
