Bub, if this happened to me (which it did) and I suspected there was metal
in the oil, I would remove the accumulator and send it to the factory for
refurbishment (about $80 including new seals). Even if I had a custom tool
to remove the large circlips at each end, the cost of just a seal kit is
not much less than having the factory do a professional rebuild. You will
likely have to replace the seals as a precautionary measure anyhow since
they have been cut. They (Moroso for me) will also run a pressure test on
the gauge and valve assembly. Other manufacturers should have the same
service.
