Removing the magnets was challenging. Used a dremel to grind away excess JB Weld along 3 edges. After this was complete i took a small hammer and rapped the side of the flywheel lightly to get the remaining bond to break. It’s important to be gentle and not rap too hard as you risk shattering the magnet. 3 of 4 popped off cleanly, the 4th left a small piece. Take note all epoxy must be cleanly removed as there are two stops inside the flywheel that allow you to position it vertically and horizontally in the correct position.

Reference the pictures to see the magnets position stops on the inside of the flywheel. Note the magnets should alternate N-S-N-S. There are 3 vertical lines on the outside edge (I didn't show that picture) of the flywheel, on the opposite side goes the 1st magnet in the N position.
