| Never underestimate the force of these magnets. At this point and again, when you re-assemble the motor, the bell might easily snap back into its original position by itself if you let it slide too far up again. So please, take special care when executing the next step, because it will hurt, if a part of your skin is getting wedged in between the bell and the base, when they slam home. | Never underestimate the force of these magnets.
