There is no need to drop the car - as the height correctors will isolate the suspension from the accumulator. However be aware that while you are underneath it it could drop so allow enough room if it does.
Loosen pressure relief valve (bolt on accumulator, replace sphere, start engine and let it idle to purge air, then tighten bolt and all should be done. Its probably time for some Citroebics now.

On the 2.1TD there's enough room to get to the accumulator from above, so you shouldn't need to go under (why does the 2.1 have more room around it than the 1.9 )

I though by looking at this picture I would get the whole lot spring and all!
Do I still have to remove the whole lot to fit the new pully?
cheers
