[TR] TR3A Temp Gauge Question - can't get it out!!!

[wbeech at flash.net]

The fitting that holds the bulb in place is independent, sounds like it is
just a little stuck.  Maybe some PBB and a gentle nudge?

Hello List Friends-
 
I'm working on a TR3A for a fellow and I need to get the temp gauge out.  Do
you have to extend the capilary tube and rotate the entire assembly to get
the bulb unscrewed from the engine?  It seems to me the bulb should be
independent of the part that screws into the engine so it could be
unscrewed, but seal against the bulb.
 
Anyhow....looking for some wisdom from
those who have BTDT.
 
My next move is to cut the capilary and send the @#$@#$ thing to Nisonger
for a rebuild.
 
TIA
