Problems with tightening fuel pump retaining ring

I use a huge pair of channel lock pliers. Not to squeeze anything, but because I can open them up and "catch" the ears on the lock ring. Then turn it.

It's harder to describe than to do.

Every time I mess with one I think it would be easy to make something better.

A flat punch and a hammer also works.

This worked great for me. You could also use a flathead screwdriver.

Lubricate the surface where it runs lightly with silicone. Then use a big flat screwdriver and tap on opposite sides. It'll go.

To clarify, not sealing silicone haha
Vaseline also works if you don't have lubricating silicone around.
