Front brake reservoir cap stuck

[timreeves]

Hello,

I am trying to replace my brake fluids on my 2018 bx 125, and the cap for the front brake reservoir will not unscrew. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make it move?

Thanks, Tim

Can you remove the screws? Take a good screwdriver (right size), then it should work.

I'd (carefully!) try it with an oilfilter-wrench.

You are right, the BX125 does not have screws - just open it against clockwise. ;-)

There are no screws, and I had tried with my rubber strap wrench for an hour. Luckily a guy from the water company parked next to me and had the biggest adjustable pliers I've ever seen, and with about 1 metre of leverage and considerable force it finally moved!
