Came here for an 07 Ford five hundred. Can confirm, those metal tab lock rings are a nightmare. Slamming on it with a hammer and punch, it's not even moving. I'm starting to remove material from the top of the fuel tank and paused to research. Looks like next weekends project now

[@nitrous07me]

A large pair of channel lock pliers for that 1st style you were talking about or a flat head screwdriver & a hammer is all I’ve ever needed 😅

[@rmg1723]

Just got a 1/2 30 inch long flex head ratchet from matco, used rust penetrate and the metal lock ring wedge for those ford escape fuel pump module recalls. Worked out great

[@WatchWesWork]

Up here I just treat them like sway bar links, if I have to touch them they get replaced. But sometimes you can't get them, so I use the air hammer and hope there is something left.

[@jrdiaz1022]

CTA1044 is the best one for Toyota. Sold out everywhere though, at my dealership everyone one borrows mine, we have the fuel pump recall out right now 😩

[@evanm9026]

Start charging snacks

[@JB-423]

that toyota one is pretty nice.

[@DavidsonMott]

My weapon of choice? Air Hammer.

[@orchestracelloplayer]

Same here buddy, use mine for everything lol

[@MiguelMartinez-hm1hg]

Rambo is on the house 💪💪💪💪i bet you shave with a machete to 😅😅😅 wherever needs to get the job done an fast

[@spot-onautomotivediagnosti7583]

Same

[@thoushallnotpass0606]

Lisle just came out with a new kit with interchangeable ends for the plastic rings or the metal lock rings. Got mine coming from matco and I'm very excited.

[@1970chevelle396]

On the plastic tanks with the screw on lock rings. I always you the oil filter pliers. The jaws have like a cut out in them and it grabs onto it perfect.

[@minato4203]

Ironically the issue I’m having is getting the lock ring back on

[@ericmccain6924]

Did u figure it out

[@topwolfautomotive6274]

one of the over looked tools and a must have, have a great weekend Sir

[@emartinez6584]

I just got the first style you showed , will be trying it on a 2015 ford taurus ,.

[@ryanscott217]

On the steel ones up in the rust belt, air hammer them off and every pump gets a new lock ring, have had to just cut them off to get the pump out.

[@josephsmith3195]

How do u do that without creating sparks tho

[@daveyio87]

come to ny and see what those lock rings look like! lol i usually use a air hammer with short bursts (yes i know i could cause a spark which in theory could cause an explosion) every one gets a new lock ring here. funny though as bad as i have seen some lock rings the tangs on the tanks seem to hold up.

[@jacksonsteenbergh8122]

I dream of some day reusing a lock ring😂 greetings from indiana

[@nosliwttam77]

Some Hyundai have an offset access hole in the trunk. Can get with an air hammer, but is a pain. The tools are nice to have. I have 3 different tools. Trusty 30" harbor freight breaker bar works every time. Good video. A lot of independent techs don't know about these tools.

[@mcqueenfanman]

On really stuck ones, I get a helper who hits on one side as I do the other.

[@MiguelMartinez-hm1hg]

For those plastic ring or caps I use the biggest oil pliers I have after spray some wd40 it works so far

[@thinman8621]

Helpful video. Thank you Flat Rate Master.

[@mrbussestoolreviews4550]

Hammer and chisels all I ever use. I'm a Ford tech and work primarily on the trucks so all I ever see are the metal ones. Best way I've found is clean it good and spray Wd40 and it moves easy though I don't deal with rust here.

[@Blazer02LS]

The first adjustable tool is a Lock Technology LT-940 available at various places including Matco

[@SouthMainAuto]

Astro makes one too. Part number 4980 😏

[@SouthMainAuto]

Pfff... air hammer is the only thing I have ever used lol

[@flatratemaster]

But no one here in the south stocks lock rings, last time i needed a lock ring it took 2 days to get

[@SouthMainAuto]

@@flatratemaster wow really!? Around here when you call the dealer and order a "fuel pump" they also send you the "installation kit." That includes but is not limited to the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines, pads rotors and calipers, and so on.... 😂 I'm telling you Mike you don't know what you're missing up here in the salt belt 😏

[@Toolaholic7]

The plastic lock ring on Chrysler products,have to make sure it starts straight too.They are easy to crossthread not careful doing it.The metal locking rings like to rust away too needing to be replaced too

[@jonsvideos321]

Early model Ford Focus were easy to cross thread too. You had to hold the spring loaded pump down while making sure the lock ring was straight . Pita

[@brentonvanamburg]

Digging the Lagavulin hat. Nice rep!

[@corykluthe355]

Honda uses the metal lock rings as well. Some of them r so tight i usually use my bar for tension and then get another tech to give it a tap with a punch and it goes not too bad bit still stubborn

[@nealhere]

Great Video. Is there a certain torque range for tightening the plastic ring for a 2008 mazda 3?

[@Pierson116]

I'm having a problem right now, I got the old one off and bought a new oem one and I can't get the new one to go on all the way? I had to order one of these tools just to help reinstall it.

[@kevinhumphrey932]

My air chisel with the splitter bit works on all of them so far

[@PhillyDee215]

Yeah I've been procrastinating on buying these for years...luckily whenever I do a fuel pump I'm able to get it off😏

[@jasonpaddock3580]

How about a video on air chucks with gauges? What do you use and which ones you would recommend

[@maxwellpeter1598]

He doesn't use air lol

[@jasonpaddock3580]

Maxwell Peter how else would you fill tires?

[@maxwellpeter1598]

Nitrogen fill stations

[@maxwellpeter1598]

@behexen250 yep thats why i said he doesn't use air followed by lol

[@zokizoki2524]

the biggest channellocks you have lol! best tool!

[@jamesbond3391]

My snap ring is metal and hard to take off. I bought some penatrating fluid from Blaster and doused the area with it. Ima let it sit and have at it with a hammer and crowbar 😅

[@frugalprepper]

So far I've gotten by with a hammer and a large screw driver. But most of the lock rings I do are so rusted out that they need to be replaced any way.

[@raedalmamouri6049]

If also works for HyundaiTucson. Where can buy one like this tool please?

[@nickl3872]

Those ford ones are easy with prybar and hammer , one hit for me .. some can use a hammer better than others . Work in a machine shop a few years and you develop different skills

[@evenhand7743]

The tool co. must pay the car makers to change them all the time.

[@michaelmcgregor3108]

I personally use the hammer and bearing race chisel on the steel one's.

[@Kb-ng5cr]

Getting it off I can’t get mine on it only goes on to two latches and it misses the rest it’s like my fuel tank is bent or something goin on I can’t see it as clearly

[@NateDogg_1975]

Haha fun removing lock rings said NOONE EVER. lol

[@tedmattingly7564]

You really gotta heat those metal rings up with a torch a little. 🔥🧨🧯

[@frugalprepper]

This is a great Idea. I am going to try this right now!

[@maxwellpeter1598]

Make sure you use the stuff in the tank as a rust penitent because pb blaster will eat fuel lines

[@frugalprepper]

@@maxwellpeter1598 I am normally replacing fuel lines all the way up to the engine as well.

[@maxwellpeter1598]

@@frugalprepper it was a joke to weed out the dumb ones it goes with ted and his torch

[@orchestracelloplayer]

I prefer my weak little air hammer. Very controlable. Just rust belt things lol

[@Mattluck89]

Use 2 knipex cobras and an assistant on the metal ones.

[@OldSchoolNoe]

Lock rings! Lock rings! lock rings!

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

MAN whatever happened to just using a metal ring and #2 or 3 Jis to secure it down

[@1down5ups]

A chisel/punch and a hammer 😂😂

[@brad8665]

I like to call it a pry bar and a hammer.

[@B1G5L1M]

When I need to remove a pesky lock ring on a fuel pump, I reach for my trusty "Big Nasty" and nice sharp chisel tip.

[@SouthMainAuto]

That's what I'm sayin....

[@250xrider1988]

Wish I could post a picture of a Polaris fuel pump tool

[@honda_doc6826]

Thanks.

[@ehsanrezaie8672]

Good Very usefl

[@DriveShaftDrew]

thumbs up shared yup fords suck need the tool most of the time lol

[@meanodustino9563]

Done many Chevrolet cars with that wedge style, 🙄 they are somewhat as bad tightening as undoing. 3guys. 3 prybars and 3 hammers at different points to lock it down 🙄 never had it that bad.

[@R3YNZ]

Can't vouch for the others but sorry to say from my experience that the first tool sucks for me. Ita made to grab onto the plastic tabs but the plastic tabs are so thin the tool hardly grabs on. With enough force it usually slips off. I usually end up taking them off with really big pliers. Each to their own though.

[@nickl3872]

I just use air hammer

[@austinkensler9856]

Those metal rings are pain in the ass.

[@etchosts8162]

I hate those things never enough room to use em

[@MaddenMaster843]

This is a weird video because I just had to buy one and I work at a ford dealer 🙄

[@MaddenMaster843]

behexen250 I like that idea much better than spending 100 dollars on the matco truck

[@mrwise7067]

No video, what’s a waste of time 🤦
