S600 suspension HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

My father recently past and I bought his 1999 s600... The rear suspension is bouncing and I have researched and discovered that it's probably the rear accumlatore in the auto level suspension ( not the rear auto level shocks) I need technical guidance on flushing the entire system and repalcing with new fluid (any alteranatives to benz hydro fluid ?) and installing the new accumulators and getting the system up and not bouncing again.... Thanks for the help.... 1999 s600 140,000 miles. Chanlder
