Anyone the size of the ABS Accumulator Oring on our 96 Acura 2.5 TL's??? Acura does not sell this individually. I dont know how to take the accumulator out myself otherwise I would've measured.

 

i see some stuff at the bottom of my accumulator and I am guessing there is a leak at the connection. esco786, did you ever replace the ring? does anyone else have that problem?

 

I replaced this oring on a 97 Acura CL, a different ABS modulator than the TL but similar.

I pulled the old oring and had to go to several places until I found a good match. Honda doesn't offer the oring as a part, only the entire accumulator. I don't know the size and the oring I used was not a perfect match, but very close. If you have a good micometer, you should be able to measure the old oring accurately enough to understand the oring dimensions.

good luck

 

to replace the accumulator according to the shop manual i need to take the relief plug on accumulatorf, releasing the pressurized nitrogen gas. if i do that, the accumulator is useless..
should i just skip that step?
i understand that i need to deppresurize the brake fluid..

 

You are correct. Only bleed hydraulic pressure not the charge pressure.

good luck
