PROCEDURE
DISPOSE OF BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
Remove the accumulator from the brake actuator assembly.
Secure the accumulator in a vise.
Using a hacksaw, make a cut in the side of the accumulator within location (B) to release the high-pressure gas.
| Location | Length |
|---|---|
| A | 9 mm (0.354 in.) |
| B | 45 mm (1.77 in.) |
CAUTION:
Small pieces of metal may fly out when cutting into the accumulator. Put a cloth over the hacksaw when cutting the accumulator. Cut the accumulator slowly so that the gas will be released gradually.
Tech Tips
Nitrogen gas, which is colorless, odorless and harmless, will be discharged.
