Fuel Tank Lock Ring Leaking
Has anyone had trouble getting the lock ring to stay in place on the sending unit on top of the front tank. This one is leaking after replacing the pump. Any tips for trying to tighten it up on the truck besides tapping a long screwdriver with a hammer? It kinda shifts to one side doing that and I need to be able to turn it and keep it centered better.

It is a Spectra pump. The lock ring is from the Dorman 55812 Ford/GM kit. The lock ring that came with the pump was flimsy junk. The original lock ring was deformed. I had it pretty snug but it must have vibrated loose.

Well, It was a bit of a trick with the tank in the truck, but I was able to get the lock ring rotated into the locked position. I'm almost positive that's where it was before. We did have the tank down a couple times to replace the pump and then deal with a wonky sending unit. Maybe the last time I didn't get it completely back in place. Hoping it stays.
