I bought a new brake accumulator. Any tips on how to replace it would be much appreciated! Thank you

its EASY. Just - key off, depress the brake pedal 20-25 times [may be less], until the brake pedal becomes rock hard…. then just remove the old accumulator and replace the new one. You can put some clean brake fluid on the o-ring to lube it up. Tighten and check for leaks…. MAKE SURE KEY IS OFF! while replacing it.

Don't forget to cycle the accumulator to remove the air
Makes a wonderful difference in the operation

im ASSuming Zeus is talking about keying on the ignition so that the accumulator charges and then depressing the pedal a few times so that the fluid and air is released and the pump cycles on to fill the ball again.

Not exactly
Turn on the key to pump it up
Turm off the key and pump it down with the pedal
Check the p/s of the bowl for released air - if its there, wait until it clears up
Then turn on the key again to repeat as needed until it ALL the air is gone on pump down
Don't let the bowl run dry
