When you get the old ones out, go to ACE hardware and get some chrome allen head bolts and washers. Makes it a whole lot easier next time you remove the cover. Some folks say to go with stainless, but IMHO,if you break one of them off you are really in touble. pretty much impossible to drill into one. I just went with the chrome allen heads and I never have a problem on either of my scoots when removing or installing them.

And this isnt a place where I'd want to use anti seize

Drill the heads off with a 1/4" bit. Once the cover is off you'll be able to remove the bolt with vise grips. When it's time to put the cover back on use stainless steel socket head cap screws.
