6502 MW Question

I recently purchased a pair of Monitor 5 jr speakers off MP. Great shape, sound great. I wanted to know if the midwoofers share the same magnet issue as the 6500 MW have. Do I need to glue these magnets to the speaker frame like the 6500 to prevent misalignment and damage to the voicecoil? Also, do you suggest recapping? Thanks!

    You should be applying the adhesive between the front and rear plates and the magnet.

    Jesse, what are you calling the front and rear plates?
    Want to make sure I didn’t miss something on my rebuild.
