I just use a vicegrip or channellocks on the top of the tube to get the old one loose. I finally broke down and bought a crowsfoot to get to the flats on the replacement. Before that, I wrapped a shop rag around the top of the new pump and tightened it with the chanellocks on the top of the barrel. The bear is getting the gasket to stay in place on the descent down into the hole on a 123 300D. I use a little grease on the threads to hold the gasket on.

 2) Leaking fuel primer pump.  If old style with white handle that you
 unscrew before operating, and it leaks even the slightest bit of fuel,
 replace it.

I found replacement was a real job.
Large hex, skinny place to reach - it was not an easy job.
