I concede. I am defeated, deflated, depressed. The accumulator sphere has reduced me to a quivering mess.
My pump is cycling every 7 or 8 seconds, but each corner suspension sphere seems ok and there are no visible fluid leaks from brakes, HP pump or steering rack. The car goes well….just the pump runs all the time.
I visited Wolfgang yesterday and got a replacement 62 bar sphere to swap over the accumulator.
This morning I spent a frustrating few grimy hours contemplating how to extract said sphere glaring and cursing from above and below….. and have come to the conclusion that it is simply not possible without a hoist or double-jointed wrists. Or both. Or pulling half the car apart.
If there is a trick, and I have read all the Aussiefrogs threads, please can someone tell me. Otherwise I am off to a ridgy-didge mechanic type person who knows how to do this stuff properly.
Any recommendations?
cheers
Jon still licking wounds and feeling the heavy weight of failure.
