So went to fill a gun today and quickly realized that the needle on the 2.5" Wika gauge on my SCBA fill whip wasn't moving (good thing I realized it quickly). Upon closer look, it appears the needle stem is quite cocked over to one side and presumably stuck or otherwise bound up...no idea how or why this happened. Pic attached, and you can kind of see what I'm talking about.
I'm a handy person with lots of tools, so are gauges such as this generally serviceable, or should I not even waste my time trying to disassemble/reassemble it for a repair, especially since it is glycerin filled? Any thoughts or suggestions?
And I did already try percussive maintenance a few times.
