OEMTOOLS 24398 Fuel Tank Lock Ring Tool, Compatible with Many Ford, Chrysler, and GM Vehicles, Works with 1/2 Inch Drive Ratchets or Breaker Bars, Green

Works great on fuel pump lock rings. Fits well and easy to use.

Needed a double angled lock ring tool for my 2015 Jeep Renegade as the fuel pump lock ring was angled and recessed. Worked great for the price!

With my fuel tank sending unit leaking fuel and with it’s 19 years of weather and rust this OEM tool was all it took ( along with a 24” breaker bar ) to remove the rusty lock ring.

Asked my wife to order this tool and the dorman 911-048 for our 09 Hyundai Santa Fe since the fuel gauge is showing empty even when the tank is full and got the engine light ON. Scanned codes were for Fuel Senders.First, this tool will make your job faster and easier but it needs a little modification. Opening the ring was easy even the tool notches did not fully locked on the ring. But locking it back on was the hardest part, it is super tight, I even cracked my Harbor Freight 25” prof 1/2” B-Bar.Upon checking thoroughly, when locking the ring, the notch (reversed T shape like) of the tool is now set under the ring and it somehow prevents the ring to slip under its lock.As the other guy’s comment here, he grinded it down to make it thinner at least half from 3/16” to 3/32” i think. Since I don't have access to grinder, what i did was cut it using a hacksaw with steel blade and file it smoothly. Easy enough, next try was smooth as a butter on a hot pan. I am not sure for other vehicle but for Santa Fe, trust me, been there. Put some pics for you.A little tip: put the ring on the same position the way you take it off, it helps to fully lock it. Good luck! Hope it helps.

Classic case of, "Where in this world did I put it?" I could not find, for the life of me, my previous lock ring tool. Found this one on Amazon, pretty much the same, works great, PLUS a nice bright green to help keep up with it.

I read the other reviews about having to grind down the tool and the pictures show a thinner tool and black. Well I was lucky enough to get the actual product. It's got a hefty weight behind it the tool is nice a thick and the hooks or whatever you call them on the end are just the right size.

To loosen ring make sure tangs are in and under ring and hold with hand to make sure it does not pop out and use a 1/2 inch impact going back and forth tighten to lose to get it moving but first soak in WD-40 or similar. Be careful with pump fittings if reusing pump because it can fly off and it will hit and bend or break them.To tighten use a 1/2 ratchet.

I bought this tool to help remove the lock rings on the fuel tank in my 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe so I could replace the fuel level sensors. It did the job, but.....As it was out of the box, the tool would not grip the lock rings. Every time I applied torque, one of the gripper teeth would come loose. After careful examination, I realized that the notches in the legs of the tool were machined too high up, and the metal remaining below the notches (almost 3/16") wouldn't slide under the lock rings. This kept the notches from achieving their purpose -- engaging the lock rings.I solved the problem for my application by simply removing about half the metal below the notches using a bench grinder, leaving about 3/32". Once this was done, the tool engaged the lock rings properly.All that said and done, the tool isn't pretty, but with some modification, it gets the job done. In my case, it was money well spent. You may see things differently if you don't have access to a bench grinder.

what's not to like fits and works like it is suppose to.

Made well and helps remove part easier.

Exact fit; does the job.

Works fine. Mâles the job very quicker and easyer.

Worked as intended
