It's not THAT bad

I've done far worse. Had mine not been welded in place, it would have been a 20 minute job. If you don't have TCS, it's far easier. As Bill instructed in my thread, pump the pedal 25 times with the car off, then remove the old accumulator. It's on left side, just left of the brake fluid reservoir. If you have TCS, it's directly under the TCS fuse box. Removal requires an allen head socket, I don't remember the size. BE CAREFUL NOT TO STRIP THE ACCUMULATOR. A good trick is to insert the allen head socket, then tap it into the accumulator with a hammer(tap the socket extensions). Unscrew, then snake it out between the brake hardlines and the components. I had to pull both the TCS fusebox and the ABS ECU to get it out.
Also, Bill's tip about the Reatta accumulator was spot on. It saved me over $100 compared to eEuro, and no wait for shipping.
