Do you know how old the accumulator is?

The accumulator is stock im assuming. The fluid levels are fine after the pump down. The system worked before I did the break change, or seemed to.
The car was never mantained before I got it.

Sounds like it's bad now (classic signs of that are the brake light comes on when stopping quickly).

To remove the air from the ball i did a series of pumping up/down the system and allowed the air bubbles to escape untill the reservoir was clear and free of micro bubbles
