In a fit of genius, I decided to pick up a main pump + accumulator + mounting hardware from a sbricks lister. Should just drop in he says. Looks nice and easy I say.

Here I am two days later, no closer to removing anything. I've shot a bunch of P'Blaster at the accumulator and succeeded in tearing the rubber dampers in an attempt to remove the output hose from the accumulator. Silly me, I should have taken that Ben cut said hose instead of removing it as a warning..

On a more positive note, a good friend of mine just bought McDuck's 85 245DL. What a sweet ride. 'Steins and new bushings all around. All it needs now is a turbo :)))
