they also have replacement connector ends for the nylon lines.... I redid a couple connectors on mine that were mangled. but you need the compression tool.

at the tank? you sure? after popping the plastic clips off mine, they both slid right off with little to no effort.. and that's on all the fox cars i've owned

hmmm lol I thought there was one at the tank but I must be wrong. guess I was thinking about the one on the other end of the plastic lines

Relax, Tom. You've made your point.

To the original poster: you may try using some penetrating oil (PB Blaster) instead of WD-40, which really isn't the best tool for penetrating rusty, frozen parts.

I don't think that locking ring is going to come off in one piece anyway..

For those of us that might do one or two fuel pumps in our lives, and how easy it is to replace the ring, I'll be able to sleep tonight knowing somone used a screw driver instead of a punch.

I think everyone who has used a screw driver with a hammer knows your not suposed to hit it with said hammer. But a screw driver is cheap, and easy to replace, and something I can pick up 24 hours without any problems. A brass punch or special tool to remove it on the other hand...

And just for the record, I am all over using the right tool for the job, but I won't go broke if it doesn't save me any time, or money, or if I might use it once.

I stand by my comment. Its hard to get a spark inside of a gas tank that is still sealed shut. I hope the metal ring a gas tank don't spark while using the brass puncch. I see that as just as likely.
