I am struggling to loosen these bolts on the brake fluid reservoir on my 2007 Dakar. Whoever tightened them before me (previous owner serviced with BMW...) is a dumbass!
I tried a impact driver, but still nothing. I have been putting this off since I first tried about 20000km ago and its eating at me.

Can anyone tell me the diameter of these bolts? I want to drill it out, but I would prefer not to damage the outside thread. Otherwise I will tap a bigger hole.

Thanks
