Greetings,
I can't for the heap of trying get the passenger side level control valve line and compression fitting seated right on to the accumulator. The accumulator sits a tad too high for the fitting to align. This is a frustrating dance of very tight space, very little leverage and avoiding a cross thread to get this bugger aligned right. I can only get three fingers in there to hold the fitting and turn.
I've tried to get it aligned right with everything loose as well as tight and shades in between with no joy. I don't think the accumulator is all the way in. There is noticable difference between the drivers side and passenger side,(DS has more threads of the posts from the accumulator showing after the nut) but I'm not sure the LCV bracket accounts for that, thoughts? Is the bracket preventing the accumulator to seat down correctly?
I can get it real close, but thats where my crossthreading concerns come in. I get it started, but since its a tad off it pops back out...
. I'm sure someone has done this on a W124,so if you could take a second to let me know what tips or tricks worked for you I'd appreciate it.
As you can see from the photos there aint much room to maneuver in there!
