What exactly did you do and how hard is it?
Well it requires that you break it and then glue it back together. I pryed off the metal lip all the way around the glass, then the glass just fell off exposing the needle. I twiste the needle which bent the windings inside until it stayed at zero. Then i glues the glass back over the front of it with super glue and thats it. You can't put the metal ring back on, and you will prob get some super glue on the glass.
