I believe that the original poster was talking about a newer car.  I finally
located the "bomb" on the '88 5kCSQW and found that the accumulator is dif-
ferent than that on the urQ.  On the urQ it is very simple to replace the 
bomb by itself, but it is not clear to me that the accumulator can be easily
removed from the valve body on the 5k ...
