When i recently took my gun appart to install laser eyes all 4 of the trigger magnets fell out. So i superglued them back in so they wouldn't fall out again, but now i want to take 1 of them out. How can i revove it with out damaging the adjustment wheel?

that's a tough question given that you've already glued them in. if it were me, i'd consider a google search on the glue you used to see if you can find how to dissolve the glue or what weakens it....maybe heat or maybe cold weakens it enough that you can break the bond. But I doubt you're going to get them out without damaging the metal around the wheels.

Google said to desolve it with acetone, but i dont want to do that because it might desolve the plastic. The only other way is to break the glues bond to it. Any ideas?

Why dont you take them out of the trigger since it seems to be a big deal with the plastic wheels and stuff.

If i put the trigger in acetone, wouldn't it wash away all the grease in the berrings? I really dont want to take the berrings appart to grease them.

BoB had told me to get a lil dremel with bit and drill thru back until u reach manget. The take a hammer and a punch and knock it out..not sure if it wil wurt since u superglued it but give it a shot.

I only want to remove one to lighten the pull. Which one do i remove to lighten the pull the most?

I removed the back one on the trigger itself and it is much faster for me, the stock trigger was to stiff for me, i could not get a good string rollin' but now all hell has broken loose.

you know you could have just bought a new trigger wheel with no mag from one of the techs

Try wedging a sharp blade in between the wheel and the frame and then maybe you could pry it apart. It might be easier if you put it in the freezer for a while before hand. I would steer clear of acetone or any other harsh solvent for that matter, unless you really dont care about your gun's finish.

I can't buy new wheels right now cuz im saving up for a cp shorty reg/ red adapter. I wasn't going to put the whole gun in acetone, just the wheels and i cant sell the wheels, their the only pair i have.

take the back one out. its a whole lot smoother because it is easyer to pull a + and - apart then to push 2 magnets of the same charge together. plus it gives it a better feel.

You can use finger nail polish remover with accetone in it . It works that is what I used when i made my own magnet wheels. All i did was buy some rear earth magnets form radio shack and drilled center of the veriner wheel to fit the magnets in the hole and super glued them in.
I took out the front magnet, because I have the CP trigger and it only has a rear trigger magnet.
