Pumping the brake pedal should depressurise the hydraulics, I don't know of any other way. If you got the accumulator off, there could not have been any hydraulic pressure in the system.
What is the actual problem? Is it brakes locked on?

Thanks for replying.the front brakes get very hot that hot as one as the Paint bubbling have changed the calipers pads and discs and the Flexi pipe .I changed the accumulator about 9 months ago and think it started then I now won't to bleed the system to see if that's helps but I can't depessurerise the brakes by pumping the pedal.the pedal just goes rock hard I'm hoping someone can help
 
Has the brake fluid ever been changed? If not I would start by doing a complete fluid change bleeding according to the procedure in RAVE, Brake fluid is hygroscopic and moisture in the fluid can result in mal functioning brakes.
That's what I am trying to do depessurerise the system then rebleed it
