[W126 Coupe] Re: Front and Rear Shock Replacement

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Accum's are a very straight forward job.   3 13mm nuts, and one brake
line/hydraulic fitting.  the biggest worry is someone stripping the
fitting that attaches to the accumulator, or over tightening and
flaring the end.

Oh, and you'll have to swap the fitting from your old accum to the new one.

Lastly, I wouldn't go Corteco, but that's just me..

You should also get yourself at least 4 quarts of hydraulic fluid to
do yourself a reasonably proper flush (won't be complete unless you
drop the self leveling rams..).
