Try freezing it and a good whack. Use a can of freon, spray it upside down to get the liquid on it.

Unhook the freon line from your homes central air, point it an the part, have a beer, chuckle and go back inside.
Then use a 12lb hammer, it will pop right off........in little pieces.
Come on! Its magnets, freezing them and hitting them wont ruin them right?

Where did he say he was re-using them?

[63vette]

Oh, thats different. Then just cut them off with a dremel and clean the excess off with a razor blade and some emery cloth.

The magnets are 1/8" diameter by 1/4" deep. The cam gears are drilled so that the magnets drop into a 1/8" hole and are flush with the surface of the gear. Then a little epoxy is poured in the hole and the magnet set in. I haven't tried to drill or machine the magnets yet, I put two in incorrectly and hate to have to start all over with a new gear. There are 13 magnets in the gear, and a new set of magnets is $80.

Can you drill the backside with a small bit and try to push them out?
