    When you're talking gen 2, the actuator and the accumulator are built into the same single assembly you can buy, so it isn't very critical which word you use, you get the same part.

    In other generations, not so much.

    It is called a "Brake Actuator" by Toyota and sometimes simply "Master Cylinder".

    I am sure he has heard of that.

    The part price a week ago shipped was $982. Somebody who works on Toyota and has their Techstream scanner could do it in four hours. You do the math.

    I don't believe the brake actuator and master cylinder are the same thing.
