2000 grizzly 600 crankcase

Hi to everyone!! i’m a new to this forum. This is my firts post. First of all excuse my english im from montreal. So i’ve bought my first atv last summer a 2000 grizzly 600 with now 8000km on it and run real great but last week end when i tried help a friend when i put my grizz on reverse a tree branch pass trough my foot rest and hit my oil level gauge and make fall inside crankcase (a chance on a million!!!!!!) I have search the web for how i can fix it but found nothing helpful, i was thinking is just a press fit from exterior of the cover but this morning i have realise thet can’t be achieve by exterior. I’m thinking i had to open the crankcase cover because the gauge seem to be press fit but from interior side? is it possible?, Somebody can confirm It ? And if i had to open it i seem to be a opportunity to do the timing chain with tensionner ? and what other part can i replace at the same time, beraing,gasket ect !!!

Thank to everybodie in advance
