Are these blind? if they penetrate into the area below the fuel tank, I would pull the tank, allow your favorite penetrant to soak in for a day or so, then go at it with a bit of heat and impact gun.

Now to get back to the original reason I needed to remove the steering rack cover; I’m going to make a small opening, either on the bottom or on the side, for resetting the MC switch. I had read about this on a thread. After bleeding the brakes, my MC switch goes off and I get the blinking red light. A hole directly under the switch will allow me to reach up with my finger to reset.
Not a big deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

You could replace the switch (maybe it sticks). The switch can be removed from the MC without leaking brake fluid.

I can reset the switch with my car on the ground and the steering wheel at full right lock.

You can see the button in the photo. Just reach in from the side, from the angle the photo was taken from. Easy-peasy!
