I'm trying to remove my fuel pump and level senders but everything is covered in rust (surface, nothing goes through) and I can't get the rings on the senders to break loose. Not sure if I'm hitting the right one though. There is an inner ring with 3-4 small raised tabs (1/2" long) and an outer ring that is the opposite (raised ring with 3-4 1/2" openings in it where you can hit it to loosen). Which one? and yes, i've got a bunch of PB on them.
post a pic of it, and ill circle which tabs to hit.
lol, ok... brb
All i had was my phone, and everything is covered in PB, hope this works. And I know, it's wicked!

umm, yea. rinse that shiznit off, and hit with a wire brush now.
I got as much off as I can... wire brushes are packed for moving. but I'm afraid it's beyond repair. I figured out which tabs to hit based on my new level sender but if I hit the tabs they just start tearing off. after a few hits they have completely sheared off. I've got a butt load of PB sitting on top but these things are SO fused idk if they will come loose!
ok, got it... took a LONG time but finally, with some very light prying I broke the rust bond and eventually got them both out...
cool, Brett!
yeah, and thanks for offering to help! I even tested and the SN gauge works! just had to modify the tabs on the sender to rotate the unit 90*
