I have the same problem, the gage is integrated with the fill pipe, replacing for me involves removing fill pipe, which I guess would start out side with two big pipe wrenches. I have auto oil delivery which hasn't failed me yet. When I want to check the oil, I unscrew the glass cover, pull up the little gage and let it drop. When the float (now the sinker) hits the oil I can tell about how much I have. YMMV. Someday I'll get to fixing it, my burner has become a do it yourself project after several different days of waiting for Fuller to show up and being disappointed with out even a courtesy call, plus a fleecing by a local plumbing contractor.
