My 4Runner is squeaking: Fix a squeak in the steering area of engine (tools & steps & notes below)

Early 4th gen accumulator is different design. It cannot be removed without taking out complete ABS/master cylinder unit.

I was wondering why my 2004 doesn’t have a hex nut on top of the accumulator

Thanks for video did any brake fluid come out when you removed high pressure accumulator.

[@spreadyourdreams]

I don’t recall fluid coming out, but, it wasn’t dry.

@@spreadyourdreams thank you kindly for your reply. Mine operates normally and there is no engine code but when it operates its a very loud chirping noise for a few seconds but it dose not continue to operate every five seconds like yours. So I might try what you did by changing the o ring. So you did not need to lubricate the the spring and plunger ? I watched another channel that advised that if you put air pressure into the accumulator with an air gun with a rubber sealing tip and it takes some air in then the accumulator needs replacing. If you try to put air into the accumulator and it dose not accept any the diaphragm and nitrogen charge inside is good and accumulator is working properly. When I watched your video your noise was very quiet and normal sounding. So now after your repair is it dead quiet? Thanks in advance for your help you can reply when you have time. Also feel free to ask me any questions you may have about your car. Thank you Kati.
