Nemesis Switch Magnet Upgrade Fail

[smoknchief]

So, I recently got my magnets to upgrade the switch on my Nemesis clone. I thought I put the magnets the correct way where they will repel each other. Unfortunately, they were placed incorrectly and my switch is now stuck. Any ideas on how you would go about fixing this?

How stuck is stuck? I don't have the magnets on my nemesis, but having just taken apart my bottom assembly, it seems like an appropriate amount of force should defeat the magnets' attraction.

Pull the magnets out, separate them and turn one disc over, reinstall. Love my Nemi magnets, smooth acting switch. Also noticed that without the spring the locking sleeve doesn't loosen the switch housing as easily.

That's the thing. It's stuck (magnetized, perhaps?) to the bottom where I can't just lift the magnets out.

Use a thin bladed knife, dental scraper, fingernail file or feeler gauge to slip in between the 2 magnets and pry one up. I bought 2 sets and they arrived all stuck together, was a beach to separate them for sure, but it should be doable with the right thin tool. Possibly a pin or a needle would do the trick. Good luck.

I'm stuck on you Nemi, wasn't that a song from the 70's?

Thanks for all the help guys. I was finally able to undue the switch with the use of forceps. Th delrin ring got a little scratched up, but who cares since it won't be seen.
