Have an ASE certified technician in an EPA certified service shop do it. This task involves recovery and storage of the refrigerant in the system - purging the system in a manner which releases it into the atmosphere is illegal under federal law. Then the accumulator can be removed. If you remove the accumulator, you'll need to replace it.

How do you remove a stuck nut on an ac accumulator on a 1992 Chevy truck?

It is funny because I just did this last night. On the side of the accumulator that goes to the hose there is a nut that turns. If your accumulator screws right onto the coil at the firewall, you have to turn the whole accumulator as there is not an actual nut to turn. There are two nuts and a bolt to remove the brace. Make sure to disconnect your battery first as you will come close to the fuse block on the fire wall. Hope this helps.

What does the clutch accumulator do between the master cylinder and slave cylinder in the 1992 Toyota Camry?

Typically, the clutch accumulator restricts the flow of fluid upon engaging the clutch so that you do not risk "dumping the clutch" and putting undue strain on your pressure plate and hydraulic clutch system. I typical performance mod on some cars is to bypass or delete the accumulator for faster shifts and a truer clutch "feel." Do not remove the accumulator without thorough research on how it will affect your particular make and model.
