Wasn't hard at all. I mean it was a bit tight pushing it into the tank, but not hard. And I didn't have to twist the pump tight, for me it was push it in, hold it down, slightly twist the lock ring, and then spin the lock ring all the way with a chisel and hammer.

Yeah, that's what I meant, twisting that lock ring; But for some reason I was thinking I turned the unit itself.

Well after being away in Maine and being way too busy around the house to work on the truck, I finally started working on it again. I sealed up the hole on the pump and spliced in the new connector to plug the pump into, but I've run into yet another problem.

As I mentioned earlier, I cut off the quick connects from the old pump, leaving a small bit of the plastic left in the line, but now when I go to get the old piece out with a quick disconnect tool, it won't come out. WTF
