Dismantling Accumulator Valve Bodies: A Must-know for Rolls-Royce and Bentley Owners

In this tutorial, we focus on two accumulator valve bodies, specifically for the early and late Rolls-Royce and Bentley models running RR363 Brake Fluid (UE37583SXR and UE39519XR respectively), including the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I & II, and Bentley T1 & T2.

Starting with the basic setup of a standard valve, Matt shows us the crucial parts - the main body, the cap, the spring, the piston, and the non-return valve - and details their functions in this intricate system. Then, he walks us through the dismantling process step by step, providing handy tips, such as using a magnet to remove the metal ball of the non-return valve.

Matt also emphasizes the importance of wearing appropriate protective equipment, keeping your workspace clean, and being mindful of not losing any parts, as even the smallest component is vital to the valve's operation.

Please remember, whenever changing the valve body, it's also crucial to change the accumulator spheres to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your precious Rolls-Royce or Bentley model.
