Default Tool for fuel sending unit replacement?

I need the special tool that is used to remove the metal ring over the fuel sending unit. I know that a chisel and hammer can be used,im looking for the actual proper tool. Any one know where to buy this tool or part #.

Thanks

Alex

Service manual says, # J 39765. I would think a dealer could order you one, but not for sure.

You can get the tool listed above for around $30 or you can just use the method directly above. I've done both with similar results.

No, I have not used it myself. But for the cost, I think that it would be a good bet...

go to a hardware store and buy the brass punch mentioned above for even less, I work on cars for a living and this has yet to fail me, I'd go broke buying all those stupid special tools to remove the ring.

I used a punch when I replaced a fuel pump on my parents car. It worked out fine, I really don't see the need to buy the special tool
