I completed this work yesterday and thought I'd add some info: Removing the hold down rings is a real bear. Forget trying to remove them with a screwdriver & hammer as some have suggested. It won't happen!! The adjustable one in the video will likely be a problem too. Amazon has a one piece solid steel one piece for $38 that's worth every penny. It's for a 7 1/4" diameter ring with 7 slots. It took my long 1/2" drive break over bar and substantial force to break the rings loose and re-install them. The other thing I found more difficult than the video implied was fishing the sending unit tubing through the tank. I used my long flexible pick-up tool, pushed it through, attached a string to it, pulled the string through, attached it to the tubing and pulled the tubing carefully through. Note that the path through is slightly to the back of center. Use extreme caution not to damage the floats on the sending unit and pump. Note also that I wore gloves and still got gas inside the gloves. I highly recommend the tank be nearly empty for this work. Good luck!
I couldn't get it to open or close with just torque on the ring. I ended up using one hand to put torque on the ring and a dead blow hammer to tap the ring tool which made it jump on and off much easier...
@@siemorjj8081 Connected directly to the ring tool, I was able to put enough torque on it with my 1/2" drive 18" long break-over bar. Glad you found a way to get it done.
hi JOHN ; thank you for sharing your experience . My question is" how did you pull off that light green line( looks like tiny hose ) on sending unit. ? which is located driver side.
