I did it on a 89 and a 91, both had the same type of pumps. The first time took me three days, the second 45 min in the parking lot of a shopping mall. Removal of the ring is not easy. I used the hammer and a piece of wood approach. Just keep tapping it at different locations until it loosens up. Must be a better way. maybe using pliers as suggested in another response. The new pump is different than the original model. Based on the recommendations of my mechanic, just cut one of the sides of the piece of rubber on top of the pump so you can easily put it in place. Otherwise, it will drive you crazy trying to force it in place. Then use a tie-wrap to keep the piece in place (toss the old plastic ring). Also, you will have to replace the fuel line inside of the pump housing as the fitting on the pump will probably be different. Just get a small piece of fuel line and two wire clamps and cut the old hard line away. Like everything else, once you know, not that difficult.
Good luck, Harold
