Received new accumulator from Island4x4 today. Check the spanner size and my 22mm fits the new one perfectly . . . . . . Problem is it doesn't fit between the old accumulator & pump housing . . . .slightly too thick (the spanner not me).

Anyone know where to get decent 22mm thin spanner to remove the old accumulator ?

You should be able to unscrew with a filter wrench /strap no need for spanner.
I've got large grips you can borrow if you need .

Or you can grind the spanner to required thinness. I did it.

Used an oil filter wrench on mine! Think @Saint.V8 just unscrews them with his fingertips. He's not far from you!
