IF you can remove that guage, just replace the whole unit.
Usually they are mounted with SS screws and the are corroded in place

I think new ones are under $35.

the gauge your looking at is a tempo mechinical you can change just gauge or the whole unit you can get it at any boating supply store the part no. is 420100 for the sight gauge if you change the whole unit you need to know how deep your tank is
