P38A ABS Accumulator

oakey · Jul 1, 2021

2000 4.0 auto Thor.
Trying to change accumulator on Mrs RR
I changed mine quite easily last year but this on will not loosen.
Have depressurised with 60 presses and filter wrench keeps slipping.
Is there any other way or do I go get a chain filter wrench?
Ta for help

If you've got a John Deere you must have a big set of stilsons.

Used a standard chain wrench on mine (both times) never a problem, only takes a tap to start it undoing.

It won't be if you put plenty of pressure on it.

Mine's like a metal band with a knob to tighten. Did the job nicely.

Don't tighten your knob too much
