Boost Gauge Repair?
Hi,
Was curious if there was a way to reset the '0' on an HKS boost gauge. I found one at the junkyard I work @ but I accidentally dropped it and now the needle is stuck @ 7psi. The only screw on the back just loosens up and moves the entire assembly around the casing. Am I screwed or is there some secret trick someone knows of?
Thanks in advance.

Ended up fixing it myself. Removed the face by bending the metal face ring with a small screwdriver. Once the face was off, I just bent the spring back a bit and it works fine now. Hardest part was bending the face ring back on. Wasn't tough, just took a while.
Thanks for the advice anyway.
