#15 AC Fuel pump removal

Seems like every one derived there own trick for removing the back nut (or bolt) on the AC fuel pump. my pump was made in Canada,
so I doubt it was original(pls correct me if I'm wrong). & may not have met original specs.
it was leaking gas at the bowl seal & the top, it appeared to have a hair line crack in the top, probably from one of the screws being over tightened.
i went back HF today and bought a 1/2" crowfoot open end(3/8" drive) & that worked for me, with a 1/4" adapter, universal & 8" extension that I used as a lever(sticking straight up).
Luckily, the nut was not torqued down real tight. I suspect the PO had the same issue I had,

thanks to a lot of input from the forum, that helped me keep trying stuff until something worked.
