Hey fellow GN buffs....I am going to replace the brake accumulator on my 87 GN that i purchased from Poston Buick....Need some tech advise to do so....
PLEASE HELP....THANK YOU
 
There's lots of posted information concerning this procedure.

All you need to do is pump the brake pedal (with key off) about 12-15 times to de-pressurize the accumulator. The pedal will be very hard after all the pressure is relieved. Put a rag under the old accumulator to catch any drips then screw it out. Lubricate the o-ring of the new accumulator with brake fluid and screw it in, torque to about 15-20 lbs. After the new one is installed, pump it down (de-pressurize) a couple times to insure all the air is out of it.

If your brake fluid is old and dirty, or been in the car for a long time, you should replace it with fresh fluid before changing out the accumulators.
