penn magnets

i superglued the magnets back into my 525 the wrong way when they fell out, so i heated them with a lighter to get them out, now would that of knacked the magnets because they dont seem to be slowing the reel down anymore?? so would the heat of the flame damage them?

also if i do need new ones what would the size be?

I've just googled heating up magnets for yer mate and it's not good news. Apparently if their heated up to much they loose all magnetism

I have changed 1 of my 525 mags to run on the bigger size rare earth magnets as all 4 of the originals had rusted away to nowt
I bought 10 off ebay for about £4, there mega strong mind. I had to thin the mag carrier down with a stanly blade then glued 2 magnets on. So much control now it's better than it was when it was standard

Ah well that aint to bad matey. I'd go for the full part for a tenner personally then you know it'll be right, small price to pay really.
