This happened to me and I eventually ended up drilling a hole in the shell and jamming a pry bar in. You’ll be puncturing the nitrogen membrane so drill slowly.Well I'm in a bit of a pickle...
Started the accumulator replacement project on my LX, and have been unable to remove the DF accumulator. The bolt keeps wanting to round out (pic attached). I've tried just about everything - breaker bar, impact gun, torque wrench, vise grips. Each time the bolt seems to want to give way, but no movement from the accumulator. I've ordered a bolt extractor socket, and am waiting for that to come in. Has anyone else had this much trouble? I tried locating a socket with non-tapered corners but had no luck.
On a side note, is there any issue in attempting to move on to the other globes before getting the DF off? Obviously from a bleeding standpoint, you want to go DF, DR, PF, PR.
