Is the Bung Nut Tool sold by IPD or much help getting into the fuel tank to replace the transfer pump? Does it save much time and damage? I'm going to be replacing the pump soon. Any tips would be great to make the first time doing this go smoothly.

Hello,
The bung nut tool you speak of is in deed worth the money. I've tried using a brass drift & this works also. But you must be careful not to damage the tabs. The space you are working around is not that great. Since I've purchase this tool I find the job goes much easier.

I managed to get the bung nut back on (got it off with a screwdriver and hammer but couldn't get it back on) with a ball joint separator and an allen wrench. You have to find the correct size allen wrench (or any sort of little medal rod that is aprox. teh same length) that will fit between two of the inner notches and the wires. Then take the balljoint separator and place a prong on each side of the allen wrench and use a cresent wrench to turn the separator. If you have autozone where you live you can rent the separator from them. Good luck. Adam.

When you need to make do with what you have, you'll come up with something. The key to this is something rigid to fit the slots, in this case, a small gear puller.
