Can any one tell me where I can get the tool that removes the lock nut on a fuel pump for a 2000 Dodge ramvan 1500 or can someone tell me another way to remove the lock nut on the fuel filter

 

I have not found the tool locally. I used a brass punch and 12 oz hammer to replace a pump in a 96 van. Do not hit it very hard for you do not want to break the lock ring. Do not keep hitting in the same spot. I would do one hit on one tab then another hit a few tabs over and keep going around the lock ring until it was loose enough to twist off by hand. It required several hits around the ring before it started to loosen.

After I tightened the lock ring by hand I also used the punch and hammer to tighten it further using the same procedure as above.

 

Same here, I've always just used a hammer and punch.

 

Yup, that's what I just did on my '93 Bravada's lock ring. I did have to VERY VERY lightly spray some WD40 on the rubber gasket to free it a little. Wouldn't move otherwise.
