Default ABS - replacing my modulator/accumulator today

- edit - this is on my '95 teg

i noticed there is a short wire harness that connect to the fuse box, and then 6 little plugs that go into the motor. i'm assuming these are for the 2 in lines and the 4 out lines. in the diagram on the parts fiche, it looks like they are all shaped the same.

- does it matter what order they go in? and if so, how in the hell can i tell what goes where other than memory? thanks!

- also, any suggestions on what method i should use for minimal brake spillage and minimal bleeding required afterward? i was gonna use a turkey baster to suck up as much brake fluid as possible before i start disconnecting stuff. i'm also hoping that if i can prevent leaking i won't have to bleed the calipers afterward. i'm dreaming, huh? thanks for helpful replies, guys. also, thanks to guymosirus for the parts.

you never know, it might just be the o-ring where the accumulator mounts. the part is like $2 at honda.

the helms manual gives instructions for removing the accumulator, but it says to toss it afterwards. how difficult/safe is it to remove the accumulator, replace the o-ring, and re-install it? am i gonna die?

well i did the whole thing myself, thanks to all the replies i got. the accumulator was really easy. just two bolts on the bottom and it pops right out. i replace the o-rings for the accumulator and the motor while i had everything apart (extra $2.50 at honda) and the operation was pretty straightforward, although messy. i have abs again. woohoo!!! it's dark now so i only bled the two rear calipers, but whatever the car stops, albeit with a softish pedal. i'll go back and do the fronts in a couple of days.

thanks. you know, your accumulator might not be toast. pull the trouble codes for your abs first. if your motor still works, sometimes it's just the little o-rings that go toast. but once you have the whole damn thing apart, you might as well replace the accumulator. i found my whole abs unit (block, motor, accumulator) for $63 shipped right here on honda-tech. in fact there's another guy that has one he'll do for $80 shipped. i'll give you his id if you want to pm him.
