I have a light weight flywheel I want to use but one of the magnets is loose. What can I do to reinstall it. What kind of glue, epoxy, should I use? Also how about the alignment? Can I just center it between the other magnets? I know it has a leading and trailing edge so I'm ok about that. If I shouldn't mess with this who would I send it to for repair? Thanks for any help.

If the other magnets were glued on....

Just space the magnet equal distance. Use a good quality two part epoxy glue. Ideal would be one that doesn't get rock hard. Clean the metal and magnet very well. Put a thin layer on both parts and firmly clamp. Use one of those plastic spring clamps like a big clothes pin. Put a little extra at the ends of the magnet to make a small dam of sorts. The layer of glue should be very thin but completely cover.
