Fuel sending unit lock ring wrench

[s-m-h]

Hello all,

I replaced both my sending units while the tanks were out but I have discovered a leak at the seal in one of them. Now that I'm working through a hole
in the floor, I figure the removal tool will be much simpler to use as opposed to trying monkey around with angling a screwdriver or punch with little
to no clearance. Anyway, glad I discovered the issue before I laid my nice new flooring down...

Anyone able to guide me to a source for the "special tool"?

Cheers,

Shawn

Search Kent Moore fuel sender wrench. They did most of the GM “J” tools. Also use the gaskets with the cutout reliefs and tabs so they don’t
shift as easy as the plain ones.

Thanks John.

Unfortunately that didn't really narrow it down too much. KM made quite a few of these and I'm unable to clarify which part number is a fit for our
coaches.

I'll keep hunting I guess.
