I was attempting to do a compression check and when I pulled the gauge back out of the hole the end part didnt come back out with it. It unscrewed from the rest. My friend suggested I superglue the end that came back out to the part stuck in and try to unscrew it that way. Barring any better advice I will attempt that after being brought some super glue but is there any other way? I figure if I take the head off I will be able to get it out from the bottom but if possible I would like to avoid that.

try using a long set of pliers to unscrew, it depends how loose it is

 

my friend did this a while back while using mine. i told him to put a tiny bit of superglue on it wait 5 minutes then try. worked like a charm and the threads are still in good condition. try that. if that doesnt work, try loctite red. let sit for 24 hours. then unscrew

 

Thanks for the help. The superglue worked fine.
