Pretty sure it'd probably be easier to just slide the gauge out of the sheet metal holding it. It's just held in there by the rubber surround. Check the bulb first and then get out the test light and multimeter to chase it down if that's not it. Bulb seems most likely by far.

hard parts is getting to it.. on a scale of 1 to 10 it is a 11/2 difficulty.. Put a towel over your steering colmun so you do not mar your gauges.. I usually just tkae them all out starting on the left.. depends how much wire you have on how far you need to go to get them out.. you actually could do a reach around from the gas gauge after it is out and not have to go so far.. you will see.. remeber what wire goes where..

You should be able to simply yank the wire from behind the speedo and then replace the little bulb. no need to remove the gauge or anything else. lay down on the floor and look up with a flashlight. on my car it is a green and white striped wire.
