I have read the post on bleeding the nitrogen activated brake system and it appears that there should be 3 bleed nipples but I can only see 2. One is near the red looped pipe and the other is easily visible on the front of the master cylinder BUT where is the 3rd? Can anyone show me an actual picture of that nipple?
I am still getting the brake level sensor error message but the fluid is fine, so I think that I may have some air in my system from when I put the s/steel hoses on and want to bleed all possible places. The brakes are firm and work well and I do not get any error code for a faulty accumulator, that is code 55 does not come up in diagnostics.

It is that one on the Lhs of motor assembly that I still can't find? It is the number 2 that the author says he found hard to get to, at least he could find it, i haven't got there yet. Do I have to remove the heat shield to see it? Is it possible that the 32 is slightly different from other models with traction control? Can you take picture Tom, and point it out to me.

I have found that second nipple, it is near the firewall under a brake line on the side of the master cylinder unit.
Have taken my accumulator off and will send it away to Shane Haverkamp to get him to rebuild it as the pump comes on too often.
I took it off with my duck bill stilsens, which are one of the most versative tools I have, grabbing everything from an unmovable bonnet strut bolt, or an overtight brake line to the stuts on a 32 suspension or in this case the brake accumulator. what an amazing tool it is. I paid $25 for this Dowidat tool 40 years ago.
I had the brake level sensor error on my 94 uzz31, the problems was in the float attached to the brake fluid reservoir cap. Gave it a good clean and error message went away.
