I just received a rebuilt accumulator and valve assembly from Introcar for my 1975 Shadow LRD20648. The two assemblies came as separate pieces, and the service manual states that I need a special tool (RH 7860) to tighten the accumulator onto the valve body. Does anyone know of a way to do this without the tool since my big wrenches are too thick to fit between the two assemblies? Thanks for your help, and I apologize if this particular procedure has already been discussed. I looked in past posts and didn't see it mentioned, but there were so many that I may have missed it. Thanks again! | ||

Carl you are right it does take a special tool.  . In its absence I would beg buy or borrow a chain wrench and wrap it around the central ring. Be sure you have a new seal between the accumulator and the valve body suitable lubed with RR363. If there is the slightest indication of the ring moving while you are tightening cease and desist! |
