Hey all.
Lastnight i went to inspect my front brake fluid resevoir. I managed to get one of the screws out but the second one got stripped. Its either stuffed, or very close to being stuffed
and ideas ? |

there is a tool for removing stripped phillips head screws, you can get them at bunnings/mitre 10 etc.
alternately you can drill the head off the screw and take the cover off the ressie then grab the screw threads with some vice grips and twist it out that way. either way you need to get another screw to replace it with
after that find the nearest place to you that a snap-on tool truck comes to, a snap-on #2 phillips head it will get pretty much any phillips screw undone and will stop you from stripping it next time.
