Good job doing this too, the accumulator is the filter/dryer of the system. Do you have the special release tools to change this part out? If not here is a great deal from amazon to get the tool kit for $24.00:

Make sure you use PAG oil on the O rings to help with the reassembly. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
