Re: How to unscrew fuel pump housing ring from gas tank?

I just replaced my transfer pump. A couple of guys at the parts store
suggested I should use a screwdriver placed against a rib and tap with
a hammer. My screwdrivers have plastic handles plus I also used a
rubber dead blow hammer, so the risk of a spark was pretty minimal.
That worked for me, tapping on different ribs. But I noticed I needed
to hit reasonably hard with the hammer. But the ring did eventually
move.

Somebody else in this newsgroup previously suggested using one of the
large size oil filter removers, the kind that fits over the end of the
oil filter.

For tightening, the part store fellow suggested hand tighten, then give
it a tap with the hammer screwdriver so the cap turns another eighth of
an inch on the circumference.
