Need to change the brake accumulator. Is there any special precautions to be taken ? Is it under any pressure.
Thanks

I've done a few on Citroen & BMW and all I had to do was twist off the old one and twist on the new one!

However, getting them off was a bit of a nonsense with extra words of the sweary variety

I used an oil filter wrench to change mine.

I seem to remember that you're supposed to depressurise it first by pumping the brake pedal a few times beforehand...

Good idea. 30 stamps on it after the engine has stopped should do it. Proper procedure in RAVE.

Exactly which is why I pointed to Rave, it must be depressurised.

How,is the pump, it's not unheard of that a faulty pump or pressure switch gives similar symptoms.

DON'T do the above...!!

You MUST depressurise the system first, minimum 30 pedal presses with ignition and engine off....follow RAVE to the letter.

Hi
Thanks for the replies, pressed brake pedal 35 times to make sure then had to loosen my lpg body to get to the brake pump then removed the 3 nuts holding it down and twisted it so I could get a 22mm spanner underneath.
All sorted now.
