RE: Accumulator bomb?

Cut the Jubilee clip off the top return hose to the Pentosin reservoir.
Don't try and undo it - it's rusted solid and the torque needed can snap
the spigot off the reservoir.  Remove the hose, put the end on a jar,
and run the engine without touching anything.  Then turn the engine off
and wait.

If more than a few drops get into the jar, the servo's shot.  If the jar
stays empty, the accumulator's shot.

Either way, so is your wallet.
