LPHUMEX Fuel Pump Removal Tool - Fuel Pump Lock Ring Tool, Fuel Tank Repair Kit, Fuel Tank Lid Cover Remove Spanner, 3/8" to 1/2" Adjustable Lock Ring Spanner

Bought this to swap out my dead fuel pump. Worked great! It’s adjustable for other sizes. Easy to set it up. Good price.

Needed to replace my fuel pump in my 1999 Jeep Sahara. Once you adjust the arms snuggly and be sure to tighten the wing nuts it turned the lock ring. It didn’t slip on the initial turn at all. The wing nut loosened up on its own somehow. Worked well tightening also. It’s a great tool for a light duty task. I’d change out the wing nuts for nylon lock nuts next.Pictures show old pump. Pump removed. New pump installed.

Even though this tool fit my 2012 Corolla fuel tank ring very nicely, I could not remove the ring with it. When I started breaking the plastic tabs off of the ring, I gave up and cut the old ring off and bought a new ring ($48 from my local Toyota dealer). This tool is designed and built well enough that I gave it 4 stars. The two legs that stick down have square shoulders at the top, so they fit well in the slots in the bar and do not turn, which is good. One simple but big improvement I made was to add 5/16 inch split washers under the wing nuts. I did use the tool to screw on the new ring, which is enough to justify the purchase. Even though I could not remove my old ring with this tool, I don't blame the tool. That ring just was not going to come off without a fight. I used my best 24 inch breaker bar and I put some pretty good torque on it. I also tried a hammer and pry bar to loosen the ring first. I do wonder if I had a helper to push down on the tool while I used both hands on the breaker bar if that would have worked? I don't think having just 2 feet instead of the 4 that I saw on more expensive tools was the issue. The curved ends of the feet and the slots fit my Corolla ring very well and it felt very secure, especially with the added split washers. Again, overall I was very happy with the tool. BTW, it was very easy to cut the plastic ring off using a Dremel tool.The attached photo shows that there is just enough screw length to add a split washer. Also note the curved shape of the foot, it fit my Corolla ring perfectly.

Works great, should have bought one years ago.
