How does one remove the accumulator without having to remove the entire master cylinder assembly and without the special tool? I am wanting to replace the pipe, o-ring and compression spring. I have searched and i wasn't able to find a definite answer. There was mention that it could be done with a filter wrench. Thanks in advance.

 

I would like to know if this is possible as well. I watched a video where someone explained how to do it on an FJ but the accumulator was slightly different with a hex fitting on top. Has anyone successfully removed just the accumulator without removing the master cylinder or bleeding the system on the GX?
