help, temp needle stuck all the way up!!

when I was driving home from school today I noticed my temp needle was all the way up past the 260 mark and it looked like it was stuck there. So I pulled the car to the side of the road and shut it off, hoping to get the needle to go back down. But it didn't. I think it got stuck there the last time I started it. Is there anyway to get it to go back down without remove the panel around it. I tried tapping on it, but that didn't help.
