Thanks to all who replied to my query on the sls on my 87 300tdt wagon. Monday the accumulators came, ($90 a piece) and monday afternoon/evening installed them. The advice about removing the lines completely was a big help during re-install (especially the short one) . Another comment to throw into the pot is to have a propane torch handy, as the main fitting was a little stubburn to remove. Added some heat, and it came right off. The other advice that completely saved me was about removing the interior piece between the rear and fwd facing seats. I'm sure that would have taken me forever to figure out. The wagon now rides like it was meant to, instead of bouncing me out the moon roof.
