I am replacing the accumulator piston and housing. My OD is in the car. I am
at the point where I need to remove the accumulator housing. Is it difficult
to pull out? Is there any special tool I need or suggested tool to use?

I am waiting for Moss to send an additional piston ring that they omitted
from my parts order.

Thank you,

John Spaur

Regarding the tool, here's my rather crude offering. All I can say is that
it worked and cost nothing. Took minutes to make.once I'd thought it
through.

This is extracted from an article I wrote subsequent to the OD and clutch
issues I had a while back, which some of you may remember. Seemed to be
interminable at the time. Anyhow, I've spared you the rest of the text!

Simon

Extracting the accumulator is one of those things that usually requires the
use of a "Special Tool", which is unobtainable at any price. Or, one of
one's own invention. My accumulator wouldn't come out and I felt that most
people's suggestions were way too complex. In the end I took a short length
of broom handle and shaved it down until it would just squeeze into the
accumulator housing. Then I cut it in two longitudinally. Finally, I shaved
the last 2 or 3 inches quite considerably back on the two inside faces of
the end that would protrude. Rather like an old-fashioned clothes peg. The
idea being that squeezing those ends together would force the other ends
apart. They would thus grab onto the bore and allow one to pull it out. The
best way to achieve maximum squeeze is with a Jubilee Clip. Insert tapered
end, tighten Jubilee Clip and pull. It works and it can all be made from
scrap!

Here is a photo of one I also cobbled together with some rubber tube with 1
1/16 OD hose
It does work and I have used it on a few occasions.
This one is sized for the old accumulator with the steel ring pistons. Not
had to use it yet on a newer sized accumulator with the slightly larger
diameter. Those with a lathe could certainly make a more elegant cone !

people=E2=80=99s suggestions were way too complex. In the end I took a shor=
t length
of broom handle and shaved it down until it would just squeeze into the
accumulator housing. Then I cut it in two longitudinally. Finally, I shaved
the last 2 or 3 inches quite considerably back on the two inside faces of
the end that would protrude. Rather like an old-fashioned clothes peg. The
idea being that squeezing those ends together would force the other ends
apart. They would thus grab onto the bore and allow one to pull it out. The
best way to achieve maximum squeeze is with a Jubilee Clip. Insert tapered
end, tighten Jubilee Clip and pull. It works and it can all be made from
scrap!

One method I used was to select a length of threaded rod with nuts and
washers around a soft rubber grommet slightly undersized for the
accumulator bore. I then tightened the nuts so that the grommet swelled,
filled, and tightened in the bore. In my case, the piston then came out
easily with a steady pull
