99 Suburban Fuel Pump Replacement

Ok,
I ordered a delphi pump and it will be here Friday. I have printed out the "how to" from my "ALLDataDiy" web site and all seems pretty straight forward. However I have two questions:
#1. It says I need the Fuel pump retaining ring removal tool ($200) to get the pump out. I have a hard time believing that is the only way to remove the pump.
Please advise before I do something stupid like going to the dealer and actually buying the removal tool.
#2 Will it work to just hook up my fuel pressure tester with the bleeder hose connected, turn on the engine and drain what little fuel is left in a near empty tank into a gas can from the bleeder tube until it runs empty rather than buying a manual pump to pump it out the fill tube?
Thanks
