Removal Procedure
The high pressure accumulator (HPA) and the chambers of the brake modulator assembly to which it attaches, store brake fluid at extremely high pressures. Fluid pressure must be relieved before attempting to service the HPA. Ensure that the recommended procedures are followed to relieve system pressure, including using the manual pressure release steps. Failure to properly follow procedures to depressurize the system may result in personal injury.
