After spending a day with a strap wrench and other solutions that wouldn't work the following fix did the trick in seconds:
From home depot buy the big set of vice-grips designed to clamp wood (look like a cross between a giant c-clamp with vice grip handles). Expand the jaws so the c-clamp arms fit snugly into the cutouts on the pump retaining ring (for best fit put a small wood block between the clamp jaws of the vice grip). From this you can grab the outside edge of the vice grips and spin. Do keep in mind the fuel inlets limit you to 1/16 spins of the ring until you get it loose.
The link shows different types of vice grips - I used the SP one
Hope this helps
