Ok I'm an idiot

So I put both mp40 watsides in a bowl of vinegar! Bam they are stuck together. Does anyone know how to unstuck them lol? They absolutely will not budge

Can you get a thick knife between them without damaging them or yourself?

Same way you would move two quarters apart with your two fingers. Dont try to pull them apart slide them apart if that makes sense.

Hmm that's weird, I've had the same thing happen and they got stuck bare magnet to magnet on the back but the fan part was still attached and they came apart no problem. Did you get them stuck together with just the magnets? If so you probably do not want to use anything sharp or the magent will attach to ie. Screwdriver bad idea. Once the coating on the magnet is damaged you will run into rust problems shortly down the road, worst comes to worse you can purchase new parts from the Eco Tech parts store.

Yea, try to get something between them, those are some tough magnets though. I do it to myself all the time with my frag rack magnets.

Pull the impeller and then they should come apart... I did that one time also... Can't remember exactly what I did but after fighting with it 20 I started removing parts and they practically fell apart... Good luck cass...

I always use a sheetrock compound spreader, the smaller kind. When my tunze magnets got stuck it seperated them really easily.
