so i'm going to over haul my accumulator (finally) i have a lath and everything at work but where i'm getting stuck at is how do i SAFELY vent out the remaining nitrogen in the accumulator?

do i just unscrew it and it'll slowly vent out or do i unscrew the bolt/nut thing on top?

another thing i'm trying to chase up is part numbers for the o-rings/teflon inside the accumulator its self, does anyone know if these are parts offered by toyota or do i have to chase up o-rings my self from a bearing/seal shop?

i'm following the guide here:

Undo the bolt on top. If you just unscrew it, it will be un-settling for you.

Parts are not available from Toyota AFAIK. So you'll have to chase them up through other sources.

The little screw on the top has a vent hole such that as you unscrew a couple of turns the vent hole becomes uncovered and any nitrogen pressure is released safely.
