I don't think I know what an accumulator spring is.
Are we talking about the Accumulator on the master cylinder (black sphere), that needs to be replaced if the ABS and Fluid Level lights come on with a few presses of the brake pedal?
Or-
Are we talking about one of the springs in an automatic transmission Valve Body, usually evidenced by very poor shifting?
If it's the (ABS system) Accumulator, depressurize the system as mentioned, unscrew the accumulator, clean up the spilled brake fluid, put in a new accumulator, refill the system, and bleed the system. Yes, access is a challenge.
If it's the valve body spring, access is a little easier (removing the battery and tray helps a lot), and there is minimal fluid leakage. Making sure things don't fall out and keeping things clean is the big issue.
