First, if it is a typical US unit, if it isn't working it'll be junk. You can graft another sender bulb and so on, but I'm assuming you have decided the whole think is junk? If not patience is your only tool.

 

The standard construction is to have a threaded forged ring retaining a sheetmetal bulb into a cast head. Many times there is an adapter ring in there too, so you just have to decide what you can save and butcher the rest out. The really important thing is not to damage the head casting.

 

Freezing, heating, penetrant ( Plus Gas or Kroil, NOT WD40 ) even cleaning, heating, and covering in candle wax seems to work as the wax get drawn down the thread.

 

Good luck with it.
