EC65A pressure gauge stuck

[Euphonicus]

My Hayward EC65A DE filter's pressure gauge indicator needle has somehow become stuck below the metal pin at 0 psi, so it can't advance and register pressure. This is the 2nd time this has happened in the last few years (1st time I just replaced it with a spare from an old filter I had laying around). I don't know what caused it and I don't know how to get it unstuck. Help, please?

Possibly freeze damage. Just replace.

Remove the gauge for winterizing.

Thanks, JamesW, didn't realize that was a thing, I'll do that in the future. The gauges are not too expensive, I ordered a couple on Amazon for about $17/ea.
