I cant remember the part number, but if it's a main accumulator, it will be the correct sphere. Should be no damper in the neck and stamped 62- on the top.

All main accumulator spheres are the same, from the DS through to the Xantia, all models all years (except the very early pre 1966 DS with lhs2 fluid)

Regards
Martin.

From "Xantia World" website, there are three possible part numbers:

96 154 588
95 451 376
95 437 354

Any should suffice in your situation.

Look for a four digit code stamped as well, with a slight space after the first digit. EG: 4 077 This represents the year (first digit) and then the day in that year. So, the number above would likely be 2004, 77th day (1994 would be less likely). Ideally, the date should be within the last year or so, if you are buying "off the shelf". I would also see if anyone local can pressure test a new sphere before fitment.

All of those are NOT accumulator spheres, but are Hydroactive spheres (which citroen call regulator spheres).

the one i have is a 95 666 763 so that is ok???
it was described as a circuit breaker sphere which i presume is another name for it???

thanks

p.s is the anti sink sphere supposed to have a pipe going into it as mine has not!??? i had a look yesterday just thinking about doing that one too but heard it had a 9mm pipe nut thing you have to undo but can't see it!
accumulator is needed more though so if someone can confirm this part number is ok then i'll crack on

thanks all

just opened the box and i'm confused
the box had 95 666 763 on
but the sphere has 96154588 cw and 4-063 CW
it also has r72 punched into it,
Does that seem right???
can't understand why different number on the box
HELP!!!!

that is definatly an acumalater/circuit breaker sphere, as it dose not have a bafle disc in the end,

the anti sink sphere, the one on the rear axle anyhow, is screwed to a bracket the has a pipe screws staight into it with a 9mm pipe nut,

i usualy crack the sphere thread then hold the pipe nut with a spanner or grips, then unscrew the sphere,

Today has been an eventful day!
I have broken 2 filter wrenches, and the darn thing has not moved a mm!!!
think i'll be looking for a chain wrench tomorrow or some nut bar to make the special tool!!
can't believe how tight it is, got a feeling this sphere has never been done as it is genuine and looks like it's been there a long time! all i managed to do was knock a bit of paint off!!!

hopefully i'll get the darn thing off tomorro!!!

You are turning it the right way, and did manage to find the depressurisation screw?

citronut · Post by **citronut** » 26 Apr 2010, 08:27

we just recived a catalouge from TOOL STATION,

there is a pipe chain wrench which looks a bit like my old STANLEY 30cm wrench, which has never let me down,

go to there link below and enter in there search box 56261

The "new" sphere is just over six years old - I'd be pressure testing it before fitment.

Sometimes, even a sphere tool will fail. I had this on eight out of the ten spheres on my Activa Project.

Then it's time to get serious and arm yourself with a club hammer, a cold chisel and a big punch.

Raise a ridge on the welded seam of the sphere using the cold chisel and club hammer and then, as soon as enough ridge has been raised, use the club hammer and punch to deliver some dead blows to the sphere. This will remove the tightest of the tight...

It seem brutal and dangerous but is perfectly safe to do.

The cause of all this tightness is not the threads but corrosion and muck on the rubber sealing ring. The rubber ring sort of glues itself on over time.

You may find the old sphere is ruptured and full to the brim with LHM.

Replace a sphere only hand-tight and fit the new seal to its groove in the sphere block first before screwing the sphere home. Make sure you don't disturb the seal as you start the new sphere in the threads and then end up nipping the seal.
