    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

alright, I am talking about those screws in the top of my master cylinder cap. both of them were nice enough give up their shape for an ugly new one. Any suggestions on how i remove these without messing up anything?

Thanks,
Trevor
 
Have you tried an impact wrench? $15 at Wal-Mart and it comes with a screw driver head that has never failed me.
 
worst case use a small drill and drill just enough so that the head of the screw comes off after that you can remove the cover and use vise grips to remove the rest of the screw
 
Impact wrench should be your first effort. If it won't work, you can try using a pin punch of the same diameter as the screw head. Use it to flatten the screw head a bit, then try the impact tool again.

Drilling the head away is probably next.

An alternative idea is one I've used in other places, but don't really recommend as you cannot afford to damage the brake housing. You would have to be VERY careful.

If you have a Dremel or similar high-speed motorized tool you can fit a
half/inch cutting disc and use it to cut a slot across the screw head.
