Putting back the locking ring is a pain. The new gasket was too thick so I had to reuse the old gasket and had someone help push the locking ring down while I tapped it back in place.
Interestingly enough you can’t create a spark from hitting the plastic handle of a screwdriver with any kind of hammer but great video man very informative and good views of what you’re doing 👌👌👍
Which is why he was referring to the sparking coming from the metal on metal contact of the flathead screwdriver on the locking bracket. If you hit too hard on that locking bracket and the screwdriver skips the surface of that metal, it could very well create a spark.
The rubber hammer is meant to minimize it from occurring. To be completely safe, it’s best to use a brass punch to do this because the brass punch won’t create any sparks.
That locking ring was the tricky part of this job. I had to re-use the old O-ring as the new one was too hard to compress. Then, I filed the leading edge of each of the engagement points so it would catch properly. POS...thanks FORD.
Same thing happen to me I put the new O-ring and it made it tricky because it wouldn’t go on the area under the metal part of the part of the seat but when I put the old O-ring it worked just fine thanks a lot!!
@tpowell2072 I drove it without the locking ring to a garage, gave them 6 dollars and they locked it, I did it two times now, but have to be careful as fuel will be everywhere while driving.
Steel on steel will create a spark. Use a piece of brass in the steel ring to avoid creating a spark... a dead blow mallet is good too. Do not use steel on steel anywhere
I need help figuring out why the fuel pump that has been replaced with the new one is not working I have a 2008 Ford Mustang can you please let me know what could be the problem because two mechanics have tried and it only works for about 2 weeks and

@@kencampbell8324 you may have to go to a mechanic for them to use a more detailed industrial code reader. Most shops have code readers that have more functions than the small “over the counter” consumer readers available.
I have an 08 gt mustang. Replaced the fuel pump due to delayed fuel pickup and delayed gauge readings. No check engine light on during any of my issues before or after. Runs out of gas before i'm actually out of gas. Saddle side is full and no pickup is happening from passenger side to the pump. Checked the pickup tube from passenger to driver side and it is not clogged, I ran air through the pipe and air is going through just fine. At first, car would read 0 miles left and die at half a tank, now it's running out at 3/4 full on the gauge where i'm only going through roughly 5 ish gallons or so. It's taken apart right now but I don't know if the sending unit on the passenger side has anything to do with fuel pickup from the saddle side, meaning I don't know if when the sending unit on the passenger side is bad, it cuts off fuel pickup from the passenger side. It seems the pump has a t split on the top to pull fuel from the passenger side, and the drivers side picks up from the bottom on the driver side. Any idea what it could be? No places around me have the sending unit for the saddle side in stock so i'm trying to figure it out without buying anything.

@@SalimRecio I can't lie to you, the car is still sitting in the driveway, i've just been using my truck because I use it for work.
