Did you take the gauge mount off when you did this, and if so, did you remove seals, and maybe swap them inadvertentl, easily done, they are different sizes. Probably blocking off air to the gauge. Rog

I did take it off rog,I change the seals at the same time even though the other were good.will have a look to see if I’ve put them the wrong way round

Those gauges are made of cheese. It could have stripped a cog when the air was released first time.

I removed the gauge mount not the gauge itself.i changed the o rings either side of the mount screw

The damsge is done when the air is released too rapidly rather than removing the gauge itself. I hope it is just the seals though.
