So I soaked my Nero 5s in a H2O2 and RODI bath and when I pulled one out to scrub it came apart. The back of the motor housing came off where it attaches the magnet.
Looks rusty. Is this safe to super glue and continue to use?

Thanks

Happened to one of mine too.

I just glued it back together with some 24 hour epoxy that encapsulated the magnet.
Been running that way for 9 months with nothing nasty on the ICP last month.
