Is there a trick to getting the brake pin plugs out of these calipers
without farking up the flat head slot ?

Yup - impact driver.
My buddy messed up his threads and now fills the space with silicon - much easier to get out !

My 90 does and they're a pain every time !

And a bit of Copaslip as they go back in so they don't catch you out again next time round.

A hot air gun and a bit of penetrant can work wonders (air gun is not hot enough to damage seals but allowing for different expansion rates of ally n steal can make the job easy)

Ditto copaslip or nickel antiseez

Hey:

Just make sure you use hi temp copper anti sieze, unlike the person before you and all should be good next time, as menioned above use impact to remove.
