Hydraulic Unit Disposal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- The hydraulic unit has its accumulator filled with a high-pressure gas. Never attempt to disassemble without breathing.
- Never throw the accumulator into a fire. Also, never attempt to cut or weld it.
- Do not drop or shock to the accumulator.
- When drilling a hole in the accumulator, be sure to wear safety goggles since drill chips may blow out together with the gas.
When discarding the hydraulic unit, make a hole on the accumulator as shown in the figure to release the gas, and then discard.
