OK so I did my 240 '89 which was born and raised in the cold salty canadian north....

New sending unit, pre-pump, lock ring for sure, small hose, sock...

LOTS of release-all, WD40, liquid wrench, tapping, tapping, tapping, tapping...
I tapped for exactly one hour. It was slow but steady and eventually got out.

The tank top was perfectly rust-free. The only parts that had rust were the lock ring and the sending unit top plate. Consequently those got replaced so everything was like new afterwards.

What you need it patience, patience, tapping, tapping, round and round to not buckle the lock ring. After scraping the chunks of rust off, a vacuum is used to take away the rust so it does not fall into the tank afterwards.

PATIENCE and it will be long, hard, but well done.
