The whole thing turns....capilary, bulb, and nut. I can't get the bulb to
separate from the nut.....stuck tighter than white on rice. :-)
The gauge
works and I've only turned it about 30 to 40 degrees out and back. I don't
think I've done any terminal damage.

Re: Re: Re: [TR] TR3A Temp Gauge Question - can't get it out!!!
meant to add
- if you take the housing off you can see if the bulb is turning as well.
That would mean the tub has broken somewhere in the line. Both cases mean a
rebuild is in order.

'turning too' do you mean if you start to turn the nut - the tube turns as
well - AND YOU STOP or, it turns more than just a nudge.... if the latter -
the tube has probably separated from the bulb and also, probably your gauge
doesn't work.
