it seems all the gauge shops are quite busy and charge accordingly.

It's not rocket science, a lot of threads out there about using a very small flat head screwdriver to unbend the crimped black ring/bezel around the gauge, remove the bezel and the glass. And the install the new glass, recrimp, many guys will use a 3/8" socket set extension as a nice way to recrimp the ring, but anything similar to gently work the ring back into shape is fine.

I assume your glass is cracked?

The fuel/oil gauge is one of few that allows you to (oil temp/pressure is the other) access the glass from the rear, by easily removing the gauge mechanicals.....so if you are suffering from dirty/ugly glass, it can often be cleaned up with q-tips or something.

lots of threads on here about various gauge projects.
