    Cut a slot in top with a Junior hacksaw and use a screwdriver to remove it. Worked for me !

    If the screwdriver trick doesn't work… I've had success by putting a couple of bits of tape on the MC cap, then use a small file to square off the edges of the bolts. A set of square-nose pliers can then be used to remove the bolts.

    I filed a slot in mine and it worked. Ordered a new set of screws and they came as star shaped holes instead of allen keys. They seem to be better

    2nd cutting top of bolts with hacksaw and tap/turn loose with a screwdriver, or tap in a small torx key, are they the domed head reservoir cap bolts, or the bigger head round ones? Once you have them out get your lbs to get you some of the torx head bolts hope supply.
