Description

The Lang Tools Lock Ring Tool (492) is an essential specialized hand tool engineered for precise and safe service of motorcycle fuel tanks, specifically for a wide range of Harley-Davidson V-Twin Cruiser models from 2008-2025 Touring, 2009-2025 Trike, and more. This tool is purpose-built to facilitate the removal and installation of the critical lock ring that secures the fuel pump assembly within the tank. By engaging with this lock ring, the tool provides direct access to vital fuel system components, including the fuel filter and the fuel pump itself, making routine maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs significantly more straightforward and efficient.
