Just going through the manual on replacing the fuel pump and noticed the step for using an actual tool from land rover for the lock ring. Is this tool a must or will a similar tool/device work. Thanks

 

You can pull the pump without it. What is wrong with yours?

 

Thanks. Mine started leaking through the top connector. I posted some pics on a thread last week or so. Spike suggested sealing it and trying that first. I did and didn't keep it from leaking. Fuel seeps out of the top of the fuel pump when ever the truck is running. I have a used fuel pump headed this way now. Just wanted to check into the right steps and tools for the job.
Thanks

 

Just use a big flat head screwdriver and a small hammer, tap gently yet firmly.
