I am replacing the fuel pump and no matter what, the gas tank lock nut wouldnt budge, so I just cut it and bought a new one from the local stealership.
The new one looks exactly the same, but in black. I tried a dry run first and soon after the thread catches it becomes difficult to spin. I then start turning it by hitting it gently with a large flat head screwdriver and a mallet, but it pops out.
1. Is it possible that I got the wrong nut?
2. Is it possible that I am doing something wrong.
3. Any ideas why I was not able to take off the ring? This is the second time when I am replacing the fuel pump. I did not have any issues the first time around, neither disassembling, not assembling.
I would appreciate your fast reply as I need the truck for tomorrow.
Thanks in advance.
