OEMTOOLS25156 Fuel Pump Module Spanner Wrench For Servicing Retaining Ring, Adjustable Double Contact Grip, Specialty Tool For Removal Or Installation

This fall I purchased a used vehicle which needed some work done with the fuel system. Removing the cap that secures the fuel sending unit was very difficult. One online video suggested using a brass punch to gently and progressively tap the retaining cap off. This did not go as smoothly as the video, due to age, dirt, and other factors.This tool was purchased and used to much greater effect. It applies forces to 2 sides of the cap at the same time, ensuring that all torque is translated into movement instead of being lost due to friction / resistance. Using this tool I was able to loosen the cap without further damage to it.Getting the tool into position was a little difficult, as the width of the bar might be too wide for the aperture you have to work within. I recommend playing with the centering a little bit, if this happens to you. Also, loosening the tank retaining straps, was helpful, as I was lowering the tank for other purposes, and found the extra freedom of movement to be helpful.I don't think this particular tool is the best value for the money. For about half as much, you can obtain a similar or knock off tool which will do the job just as well. Who knows if the manufacturer is even the same or not these days. Everything is outsourced to China for either our benefit or detriment. Lower costs, less brand control, questionable quality. In the case of this particular tool, it was well made, adjustment points didn't slip and there was a sturdy accurate sized lug for a 3/8" drive. I recommend use of a breaker bar, if you have one, but use it gently. Slow consistent torque is better than jerking or "hammered" movements.

Tool fits and works perfectly, good price.

I used this on a fuel pump that was 17 years old and never touched before that was being hellish to get off (had to use a breaker bar all the way). Worked well enough and got the pump unscrewed. It just slipped a little from it's set position. Definitely not professional level, nor would it stand up to regular use. But it's good for the DIYer that isn't dealing with fuel pumps regular. Useful to have

Heavy duty. Easy to use. Easy to remove fuel pump lock ring. Didn’t slip at all. It’s adjustable so it fits very well.

Worked great on my dodge dakota fuel tank. I put it on the lock ring with the adjusting bolts on the tool loose then squeezed them together as i tightened them. I chewed off a few lock ring notches due to it being so tight but then i tried tapping on one of the arms of the tool with a hammer while turning the tool and boom the lock ring came loose. As a technician this is an awesome tool for the job for only $20 and shipped to my mailbox. No need to wait for the box to come to the door.

The tool to use to remove the fuel sender or the pump.

durable quality and easy to adjust. it’s also convenient because you can attach a socket wrench to it very easily.

Seems like a well built tool, but it failed to do the job on a 2010 Corolla. This car was stubborn, but it wasn’t overly dirty or corroded. It was snapping the little plastic tabs off before it broke the cap loose. If you’re working on a Toyota from that era, I would recommend a tool specifically for that model and be happy that doing the work yourself including the cost of a $25 one time use tool is still way less expensive than the dealer, plus you won’t have to deal with the busted knuckles with this OEMTools universal version snaps off the tabs.Maybe this tool is better on rings that have like 8 larger plastic ribs, but it wasn’t good on a Toyota with like 20 smaller ribs.
