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

If the pedal goes rock hard that normally means that the pressure has gone.
Are you sure? It's been a while so i could be wrong but I'm sure mine went very soft
Vacuum assisted brakes would go hard

Pretty sure there was long travel and a soft pedal on mine with no pump,
Rave says the pedal should go soft and it's always gone soft before
That's what I am trying to do depessurerise the system then rebleed it
+1 on mine
As per my other post, i think if you let pressure out of the calipers, you might be able to pump the pedal more and get to the real problem

Looks like i was getting confused with a system with a servo, i shall go and stand in the corner 
Will do and get back to you all thanks for the help
Slide pins causing caliper to bind on?

Might cause overheating brakes but not the problem the OP has with not being able to depressurise the brakes.
More likely to cause uneven pad wear
