Anyone know where I can find a fuel tank sender tool for the locking ring on my '65 gas tank? Thanks...

I strongly discourage the hammer and drift pin method - you can buy a tool specifically designed for sending units at Corvette Central.- Top

Re: I'm wondering
mike. i'm wondering too. i've probably replaced 20 to 30 midyear and c-3 fuel tank senders with the brass punch/hammer technique in last 30 years and i've had to re do a few for various reasions not related to distortion of the retainer.. none presented a problem. i should have specified that a 5# maul won't get it.gently tap retainer off with brass punch and light blows of 8 0z.hammer. reinstall sender with silicone lubricated rubber o-ring. if tool is only $15 bucks, think i'll look into one as it may be quicker.mike- Top

Re: I'm wondering
I used the brass punch method on my 67 to remove the sender, no problems. But, I saw the tool at LI corvette and ordered it along with some parts, and it is pretty slick, but I am a tool freak anyway. I buy tools that I never use, this was one I actually did!....Craig- Top
