I need to get at my accumulator, and have been told that removal of the centre/center console gives access to components associated with it?
If that is the case, then how do you remove the console please? - Mine is an automatic.
Thanks

If you need access to the fuel accumulator, you do not need to remove the center console. There is an opening in the center tunnel of the chassis and you can access it through there, from underneath the car.

You shouldn't need to touch the hard lines above the console to replace the fuel accumulator.

Removing the centre console will not help you access the fuel accumulator. There is fiberglass and steel (frame) in the way from above. You access it from underneath. The opening is just in front of the automatic transmission fluid pan. That opening is about the size of a DVD case and you are trying to work on something the size of a pop can. This job sucks the big one like few others (IMO).
