Most people just tap it loose with a screwdriver.
I am planning to replace the fuel pump in my td5 130 when I have the tray off in a few weeks time. Does anyone know if either of the tools below are the correct one to remove the locking ring?

The first one looks right. If you're handy with a welder you can make one with a few pieces of steel & an old socket.
They make the reinstall job easier.
OK to revive this thread, how do you get the ring back on, seems to start and then pops off. The V8 was easy, this is just ridiculous.

Make sure you fit the rubber sealing ring to the tank first.....bit of lube should go on easy!
This is where having the tool (bought or homemade) makes it easier to apply even downward pressure rather than trying to do it with a screwdriver or two.

My trick is to put a sponge under a block of high density foam, lube the sealing ring, put the seal in place, insert the pump put the lock ring in place, sponge then foam on top of the pump assy then kneel on it so it sits in place the ring then goes on by hand.
