Hummer H2For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.
you definitely need to clear out all the debris in the ring channels. vacuum or compressed air even if it's out of a can. worst case maybe an old toothbrush or wire brush
Hammer and a punch, screwdriver, chisel, steel rod, etc... just hit on all tabs, it will break free. Btw, no matter how good you clean the top, rust will still fall in,and by the looks of your supply line, rust is already inside the tank. Just clean the inside good.
Yes I have all those, infact got more seals than I'll ever use, courtesy faulty ACD fpm's.
So after an overnight soak in penetrating oil and switching to a smaller hammer ("shock" rather than the force) the ring tapped off easy. As you say patience
The old fpm took some getting out, the OD of the pump matches the tank hole, so a little leverage was required
Think its impossible not to get rust inside the tank, I was very careful and used rags, brushes, vacuum etc, but with the rust from the ring and lugs it unavoidable.
I'm tempted to paint the lugs, the thickness of the paint won't be a problem, I've checked,
