How would you repair a gas gauge on a 98 Chevy Malibu that went 360 degrees around and is stuck on the needle?

In: Chevy Malibu

Answer

I had this happen on my 98 Malibu, and I just took a pair of needle nose pliers to make a small hook on the end of a straightened out paperclip which I then used to put through a hole the display (there's a small hole through which the button for your tripometer comes through) and pull the needle out enough that it popped back up where it was supposed to go. Yes, this is kind of a silly way to do it, but it sure beats paying somebody to rip up the whole dash to get at the gas guage. Good luck.
