In this video I explained the reality for removing a lock ring. They can be easy or they can be a pain to remove. There is multiple methods to remove them and none are perfect! You will damage the ring if its seized in place.
If it doesn't start turning from the start, with the lock ring tool or a wood plank/metal bar, you will need to apply more force and it will damage the tabs of the ring.
Be sure to use penetrating oil as soon as you remove the seat and the plugs from the fuel pump. This will give you an edge agains't the ring's friction.
Hope it help!
