What chemical is best to dissolve the adhesive used to secure magnets on audio speakers ?

Question

Magnets are sandwiched between 2 pieces of metal on the back ( base ) of audio speakers. What chemical is best to dissolve this adhesive so I can seperate the metal from the magnet ?
I have used Acetone, soaked for 24 hrs. - DID NOT LOOSEN.

Answer 1

The adhesive is usually epoxy. There are epoxy solvents but will cost more than the magnet is worth. Solvent will have a hard time soaking into the adhesive. You will have better luck using a chisel and just knocking off the magnet.
