Thanks, Chris! I've been meaning to look for something, but it always falls to the bottom of the list... You always know about all the cool stuff!

Learned that lesson the hard way last fall. Lucky I have denim paint and the resulting damage was almost unnoticeable.

I'll modify a tiny ratchet 90 degree screwdriver I have tonight and see how it goes.

Thanks y'all!

I have a brake bleeding tool/pump. It works from the bleeder valve on the caliper. It basically sucks the fluid through so the cover can be off as long as you don't let the reservoir go empty and suck air (cause then you have to start over...lol).
