which O-rings??

Did they change the fuel pump much vs. '89?
On mine each fuel hose has O-rings to seal them into the top of the fuelpump assembly. One screw to remove a plastic clip which holds them in, then each hose pulls straight up. No need to remove the big ring. Are you sure the leak isn't there? You may not have to remove the pump assembly from the gas tank. Mine has NO O-rings under that big ring. It's a fat rubber gasket, almost fat enough to be door weatherstripping. If that gets out of place, the whole thing would pull up & out, threaded ring & all.
BTW, I'd be afraid to use the screwdriver/hammer method. With my luck it'd just break. First time I took it off, I used channel lock pliers. Not to grip the ring, but hold them upright & use them like a pin spanner. Slow smooth motion worked WAY better then pounding. While you do this, you have to hold the center part stationary - don't let it spin.
