[V8] fuel pump sender locking ring removal?

[Tony and Lillie]

Karl,

I've ben that guy, so I understand your concern. The mechanic wondering what 
the hell you were doing, that is...................

That being said, I've done plenty of fuel pumps/senders exactly that way. 
Large stright-blade screwdriver, and a hammer. I usually work my way around, 
so as not to jamb it into one side. I've dealt with that problem only once, 
and it was a huge PITA!.

Thanks. I just wanted a sanity check before I went tapping on the thing with 
a flat metal bar and a rubber mallet. Which, in the end, is what got the 
thing to rotate without any damage to it.

Not having done a lot of this work before, I'm a little overcautious about 
doing something that might leave something in a state where it can't be 
reassembled without proper application of large amounts of cash, and a real 
mechanic looking at me like, "What the hell did you think you were doing?"
