    Anyone got any hints for removing the screws that hold on the front brake
    master cylinder top. The old ones have been brutalised by some hamfisted
    oik.

    Are there any tricks I can try before I resort to drilling them out?

    Thanks

    Slot them and use an impact screw driver.

    Thats what i had to do...try to tap carefully though...if you beat them too
    hard the cover has a tendency to crack or you'll get a bunch of crap in your
    master cyl.
