Good job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm curious, were the magnets glued to the top and back plate? If so, I'm quite surprised that you were able to break the glue joint and get them apart.

yes they were glued. look at the first pics everything was dryied out. so it just came apart. luckly the top and bottom plate are stainless or it would of been done for. this was not a easy task making it nice again. i have over 20+ hours. re aligning everything was the hardest thing ive ever done. it was worth it though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
