Am replacing the fuel pump/sender unit thats located in the fuel tank, is there a trick to removing the big red locking ring without destroying it in the process. I dont want to but the 'special' LR tool just for this one little job

I used a big ommer and a length of wood 22mmx18mm about 300mm long no problems.
