Buy some aircraft strippper gel from walmart, paint it on where you think you're having glue adheison and let it sit overnight. Then in the morning see if you can break it loose.

so every time you push your sub and it heats up the motors get demagnetized? that's news to me.

and you can take a strip of masking tape and ease it in the gap in and out and get some shavings that way to.
