!!!!Greddy boost guage.. needle is stuck

I have a 60mm greddy boost gauge... and for some reason the needle jumped past 2kg/cm^2 .... well if that happend for real my engine should be toast or I would at least feel a rush of power or something.. it was partial throttle and it just felt like normal btw..


anyways now the needle on the boost gauge is stuckresting on the other side of the scale and refuses to go back to the vacuum side, I can't seem to remove the casing so I can push the needle back...

anybody know how to remove the casing??

Nothing I guess, I see them on all kinds of (non race) cars. I was just trying to be funny. I don't use any GReddy products myself for personal reasons. But for gauges I'd rather deal with the manufacturer..
