Since I have this car, I can’t get rid of some vibrations I feel some times on the brake pedal, when I brake. After a few bleeding operations and because I don’t know how old is the brake accumulator, I thought it should be a good idea to replace it, hoping it could fix this vibration issue.

Here is the accumulator before removal

I lowered the hydraulic pressure but it leaks anyway when I loosen the main tube

In fact I made a mistake, there is still some pressure and it projects hydraulic fluid everywhere when I disconnect the tube 🙁

I “simply” forgot to lower the pressure in the accumulator itself by pressing on the brake pedal several times. That’s just a detail 😉

I’ll have to clean this mess

Here I’m preparing the new accumulator

Here is the new accumulator installed, not an easy task, that’s difficult to adjust its position with three tubes giving constraints

Cleaning is almost done, I’ll close everything soon
This new brake accumulator reinsures me, everything should now be ok on this side for a long time, but unfortunately I still have some vibrations on the brake pedal, probably because of air bubbles, which will need another solution.
