Removing lids
On K1200s/r it takes two people without wrench. Their is a tab on both sides of reservoir that must be pushed in and held in while lid is unscrewed. A couple of small screw drivers or ink pins will work. I make most of my own tools (I am a die maker ) but I paid $13 or $14 for factory wrench it isn't worth the time or effort IMO to make one. When putting back on it clicks like a child proof lid, no need to hold tabs in when putting lid on.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies,I suppose I will order the factory part as it seems the easiest solution.
