The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Hello all

Today I tried to change my own brake fluid on my 2016 PCX150 for the first time and I cannot for the life of me remove one of the screws on the reservoir cap.

I used the correct size screwdriver, WD-40, rubber bands and a hammer on the screwdriver with zero luck. Has anyone had experience with a stubborn or stripped screw? What can I do here to remove it without damaging anything else?

Also, does anyone have a reliable site to order a new screw from? I found hondapartshouse.com, but I'm not sure if there's better sites out there. Thanks!

good morning I usually use wurth boltex

Also keep in mind that this bike uses JS head screws, not PhillIps Head. That makes a difference when the screw is stubborn.

Nice Tip (no pun intended)

Thanks all. I've ordered a JIS screwdriver with a few different tips for it and will leave it alone until it arrives. I don't want to strip it more than I already have. Will update when I try it.

Just got my JIS driver and it removed the screw no problem, even in this partially stripped state. Ordered a couple of extra screws to replace the current ones just in case.

Thanks for the feedback!

I change my brake fluid a little more often than most. Once a year and again after replacing the brake pads. (I know some will say that is too often, but it does not harm and takes very little fluid.) I suggest that, even if you do not change the oil so often, you could give the screws half a turn out and back in again a couple of times a year. That should keep them from getting stuck, and will take no more than 20 seconds.

Is this equivalent to WD40?
On my previous bike I killed one of the screws trying to get it out of the master reservoir.
Wonder if i can get the one you use here in Japan,

Impact driver will crack that off straight away. Best place for parts on UK is David silver spares or wemoto

Great tip, as missing from my tool box ... now on order. Thanks!
