    Test indicates accumulator replacement. Couple of questions.
    Do I need adapter to install? Ricambi shows a coupling needed.
    Searched site but found no replacement procedures. Insight appreciated. Looks like a bear to remove!
    Help always appreciated!

    On a 360 you do not need the adapter.

    After reading all the past posts from owners who experienced difficulty removing accumulator.
    Mine came off with moderate effort using my old strap wrench.
    Installed new accumulator with no issues.
    20 mile test drive successful.
    After sitting 12 hours, pump time reduced from 15 seconds to 6. Shift test improved as well, increased number of shifts before pump cycles.

    Did you bleed the F1 system after install, or just remove and replace?

    Did not bleed after install. As others have noted, virtually nothing came out of the accumulator when removed.
    Plan to flush and bleed over the next couple weeks. Received Ferrari specified F1 system fluid from the UK.
