    044Ti questions/Help needed

    when I got the 18Ti's as donors for backups for the 250ti's , one of the 044ti's was dented.

    My JBL friend who says he's fixed many Ti tweets and I pulled the driver ....to push out from inside , BUT can't get off the wood/masonite cover...can get a blade around underneath , staying clear of the dia , BUT it wont come off.

    He suggested heat from a hair dryer , which I tried, but still no joy ...suggestions ?

    and

    once its out, dent removed....what glue shud be used to re-attach ?

    Can you try to pull it with a bit of low tack tape like masking tape?

    The current adhesive appeared to me to be akin to the double sided "Tape"
    that really is just all adhesive (the backing gets thrown away)... at least in
    the several 044's I've had apart. It can be scary-difficult to get the adhesive
    to release, but it does ... it just seems to re-tack if you let it back down.

    Slowly, and with more flat-bladed tools would seem like a good path to try
    if you -really- want to separate the diaphragm from the magnet assy
    (otherwise, good luck finding a new 044Ti replacement dia ... which would
    have obviously been the preferred path).

    I assume the Ti version also has the little foam cylinder inside, ... that may
    or may not be reusable... one good reason to have a look

    ... the voice coil. Definitely don't want to just slide a putty knife under the middle
    and let 'er rip... 'cause it will.

    guess I'm always working on LF's and to me HF's either work or not , havnt had opportunity to open them and poke around..

    is there a good cutaway view somewhere that will act as a road map ?

    the coil just drops down into the gap from the inside edge of the diamond pattern
    (if looking from above). You've taken off the front section, but here's a cutaway pic:

    so... looking on-axis with the tweeter, there's a say 1.5-" diameter circle in the middle
    that you don't want to slide a knife or tool into or you'll hit the voice coil former.
