Gas Gauge Rebuild

[james1savage]

I found that gas seemed to be seeping abit around the gas gauge glass and I’m concerned due to the electrical directly below it. I’d like to replace the gaskets on either side of the glass. I’ve tried removing the star nut inside the housing but it is stuck tight. I’ve soaked it for a couple days in thinner per the red book but still stuck.

Anyone have any knowledge that would assist in my success? Attached are just a few pics including the tool I’m using. I’m gently clamping the outer housing in a vice to hold it while trying to turn the inner star nut.
