PROCEDURE
DISPOSE OF BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ASSEMBLY
Remove the accumulator from the brake booster pump assembly.
Secure the accumulator in a vise.
Using a hacksaw, make a cut in the side of the accumulator within location (A) to release the high-pressure gas.
| Location | Length |
|---|---|
| A | 25 mm (0.984 in.) |
| B | 60 mm (2.36 in.) |
CAUTION:
Always use proper safety glasses.
Small pieces of metal may fly out when cutting into the accumulator.

Cut the accumulator slowly so that the gas will be released gradually.
The gas is colorless, odorless and non-poisonous.
