ok even though it took forever to loosen the accumulator I got it off, and yes...brake fluid everywhere =P but I have an interesting problem, I went to put on the one from prior reman and noticed it doesn't have anything to tighten it down, no allen key slot on the top, like the one I took off. right now it's on as tight as my hands can get it, considering how tight it was on there in the first place I doubt that's good enough. what can i do to get it tight? anyone else put one on from prior? how'd you get it tight?

on a side note, I have just about everything off the top of the engine, and I still have no clue how the %^&^ I'm suposed to get at the frikken plugs!!

need to get yourself a strap wrench from CTC, make sure its got a rubber band, will alow for more of a bite when tension is put on it, the metal ones tend to just slide around.

Not sure if it's the right size, but you might try and oil filter wrench.

From what I have read, there seams to be two different lengths of BRAKE ACCUMULATOR nipples. Better check your old one against the new one to ensure that the accumlator is seating as intended.

It becomes an art changing the plugs after a while. :D I can do my plugs in about 45 minutes now removing only the intake tube :p
