Re: fuel pick up

Your asking about the sending unit and float??? There is a lock ring that you turn counter clockwise, hit it with a flathead and a hammer. That retaining ring will pop out.

Re: fuel pick up

There is a ring that is around the sender body. Use a brass punch or something that will NOT produce a spark and tap the ring away from the stops. Then remove it all as an assembly.

Re: fuel pick up

no you can still take the sending unit and float out, if you plan on pulling the whole tank out its easier if its not so full but can still be done.

heres a pic of the ring you need to turn, i just use a flathead screwdriver.

Re: fuel pick up

They also sell a special tool to remove the ring; it becomes very useful when you want to retighten the sending unit lock ring.
