Follow the rave and you wil be fine,
I've done a few on Citroen & BMW and all I had to do was twist off the old one and twist on the new one!
However, getting them off was a bit of a nonsense with extra words of the sweary variety

I used an oil filter wrench to change mine.

I seem to remember that you're supposed to depressurise it first by pumping the brake pedal a few times beforehand...

Good idea. 30 stamps on it after the engine has stopped should do it. Proper procedure in RAVE.

Exactly which is why I pointed to Rave, it must be depressurised.
How,is the pump, it's not unheard of that a faulty pump or pressure switch gives similar symptoms.

You MUST depressurise the system first, minimum 30 pedal presses with ignition and engine off....follow RAVE to the letter.
