This has been discussed to a substantial degree, however many threads are not valid anymore.

I have a few drivers I need to re-align, but would like an adhesive I could still break apart in the future if I had to without cracking the magnet.

Just planning ahead if by chance they shifted again. I cannot imagine they would but would like the option.

    My thought is that if you can break them apart, then they can shift again much more easily. If you use the stronger glue you can't break then they are much less likely to shift. And if they did, wouldn't it be because the bond has broken?
    I'd just go with the strongest you can get that will bond the two materials (I think most here like Lock-Tite is best, but I don't remember which one) and do it.

    Good luck with the repair which ever route you go!

    P.S. take what I have to say here with a grain of salt, as I have never done the repair before, nor have I been taught how to do it, other than reading a few threads about it. :)

    I used Loctite Power Grab. I think that is what was most recently recommended.

    Micha is correct, you want a permanent adhesive.

    Use RED loc-tite between the magnet and plates. The power grab or JB weld is used to keep original drivers from shifting in the first place.

    Sorry. I was using Power Grab on original drivers that had never shifted; not magnets that had.

    I did use the power grab on the good drivers, I meant to ask if anyone was using adhesive between the magnet and the metal end plates in conjunction to the outer circumference....so that does answer that.
