Ignition off, pump the brake pedal 30 or so times to release accumulator pressure. Use a sturdy oil filter wrench to remove the old accumulator, carefully clean the surrounding area and fit the new O-ring. Screw in your new unit firmly and you should be done.
Some folks have reported the need to bleed the system after replacement but in my experience it isn't necessary.

Chris.
