I had a mega-bitch time putting the hard lines back on, I must have bent them when I removed the engine.
Solution? Upgrade it

I also did a bit of research on removing the accumulator and as defiant says,
it will not be missed after I remove it.
I aimed it upright so that I can have access to the bleed port when I rebleed the clutch. I just moved the line in between the engine mount, instead of below. When you buy a new one, it comes with 2 new crush washers and banjo (14mm).
I'm not sure why it's so long.
Flare (line, crow feet, whatever you want to call it) wrenches need to be used here. THE NUT WILL STRIP if you try to use an open ended wrench on it. Sizes are 10mm and 18mm for the two sides.
