hi everyone I'm willing to offer this service of re-gassing our nitrogen accumulators of our brake systems for $150. for $150 you will get:

your leaking accumulator taken apart and cleaned.
new nitrile o-rings installed.
2000psi nitrile schrader valve installed.
accumulator filled with 1000psi of nitrogen.
accumulator posted back to you.

i have already done this to my own car as per this thread: http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages...html?1345791857

and followed this guide on the planet soarer forums: http://www.soarerworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29557 and worked on it from there.


you will need to post your accumulator to me, but will cover the cost of posting it back to you. can express post at an extra cost

{warranty wise i will cover cost's of shipping the item back for another overhaul if you can prove it was caused by workman ship. i will not take responsibility for damage caused during installation/dis assembly (though there's bugger all to damage) but you have to remember that this isn't a fancy business, just a guy doing this off his own back at work to try and help out the soarer community that's given me tons of information and things in the past.

it should only take me a maximum of 2 WORKING days to over haul the accumulator upon receiving it.

some symptoms your accumulator may need to be re gassed include
an odd sounding "chirp" down the steering wheel
brake error codes coming up when pressing the pedal going away upon depress
spongy brake pedal feel (i noticed mine firmed up quite a bit upon doing it)

So send me a pm as email will be the easiest way at the moment to organise things if you wish to take me up on this.

thanks heaps

i might in the next day or two do a write up on how to get your accumulator out, but basically the accumulator is located on the drivers side next to the fluid resivor


under neath the black and yellow rubber cover.

the easiest way to remove it is to:
    leave the car off
  • pump the pedal about 40 times hard (this is crucial to relieve pressure)
  • now you need to unscrew the accumulator.
  • select your weapon of choice, i've read a couple of ways of people doing this, either with a pipe wrench/stilsons, oil filter removers, strap wrenches. i made my own tool which works ok but not great
  • once you've got it moving (may take a bit of effort) unscrew the accumulator and place it in a vice or similar
    with a flat head screw driver, undo the screw ontop SLOWLY!!! just until you start to hear the nitrogen coming out. just leave it until it's empty. please don't get impatient and undo it quickly you'll probably end up with a screw getting launched with the power of a 1000psi into you eye or something, just let it come out slowly)
  • and your done

hey mate are you able to do this for toyota aristo's?? if so i know there will be a fair few of us who will be more then keen on getting this done. if im not wrong this nitrogen canister setup is the same/similar as the aristo's so im guessing should be similar process. if you can pm me some info that would be awesome. ill see if i can get a had on a spare canister that i send to you to look at and if possible work on. where are you located??

do you still refill break accumulators for 93 soarers. mine needs doing, and this is the only post I've seen that says you can please email me if you do. [email protected]
