The accumulator is in two pieces. There is an outer housing or liner which =
was used by Austin Healey to reduce the size of the accumulator piston and =
by that means the OD=92s engagement force, and the smaller inner piston whi=
ch actually stores the hydraulic force. In order to replace the O-rings you=
have to remove the housing first. To do this you need to block the motion =
of the piston. I=92ve done it by holding the piston in place with a wooden =
dowel while applying air pressure to the control valve port. Any compressor=
you have should be sufficient to do this. Use a rag to catch the liner whe=
n it comes free as it will come out with some force. The liner is sealed wi=
th one O-ring on later ODs and that is where operating pressure is usually =
lost. The piston is sealed within the liner bore by steel rings. These are =
not usually the source of your problem.
Good luck.

Yes thanks for the tip. The problem is slow to engage. It was suggested may=
be accumulator O ring. Just did pull the check valve and all. Did seem like=
dirty oil. I cleaned it all up. I=92m already committed to extracting the =
accumulator and piston but wanted to replace all the tranny mounts and bush=
ings which I did. Mounts were pretty squished and cracked. Bushings(radiato=
r saver)were fairly solid but were replaced. They were the original. Clean=
ing and degreasing as I go along.
If(?)it is the O ring or rings, I guess they are metal on the piston, I mig=
ht just spring for a uprated from Dennis Welch or AH spares has a combo hou=
sing/piston both which have rubber O rings.
Working my way to the extraction part. I want to use forced air through the=
operating valve but I only have a small air compressor for tires. Some kin=
d of extraction tool would be helpful. (18G182) I have always changed trann=
y oil regularly. Used ND 30 early on. Using MT 90 now for many years.
Any and all suggestions appreciated.

Warren- Don't know the OD problem you are experiencing, but suggest before =
you tear into it, undo and clean the check valve and ball on the top right =
side (if you haven't already done so). One small spot of dirt lodged in the=
valve drilling can kill the hydraulics and make it seem like a bigger issu=
e. It may be worn parts, but, if not, this is an easy first test. If it is=
dirt; good idea to change oil and add fresh SAE 30W non detergent oil to t=
he unit. Regards, Hank, healeyhelper.com

I should really get back to working on that accumulator OD problem now?
