Allen screws are frozen and not much chance of getting any WD40 around then. Heads rusty and the recess allen aperture has just rounded.
Charlie said that there a reference to this problem in the Bingara meeting post but i couldn't see anything in the 8 pages.
Tomororow I'll go hunting for a Sutton 4.8mm drill bit which will beat stainless steel heads, but since I'll paint the muffler black, I'm very tempted to take to the cover with metal shears and hack it off.
any other suggestions
