Gas gauge pissing me off.

I have an LED gas gauge from MoCo, and it's showing empty at about 1/2 tank.
I have heard that the float rod needs to be bent to change the readings, but I don't have any idea on how to remove the gauge (left gas cap).

Can someone enlighten me on how to fix this?
Sounds like a good project for tomorrow.
Thanks in advance.

Get a service manual. You don't remove the fuel gauge. The sending unit is on the other side of the tank you have to go in under the counsel and I would not suggest doing it without the service manual. Just my 2 cents.

I should add I have done it myself and the manual was a big help.
I know I know no man uses a manual but it does help after your buddy's leave. ;-}

I can deal with a little innacurate, but 50% inaccurate?
No..
Maybe I'll just take it back to the dealer and have them fuss over it.
Thanks for the replies folks..

Those LED gauges are notorious for reading low to early. Thats what kept me from buying a set. My bro just got use to it, even when its flasing red, you still got a gallon.
