Botched S45-2 Woofer repair?

2 replies
Hi,

the woofer of my Beovox S45-2 seems to be stuck - it scrubs in the magnetic gap but the speaker still measures around 4 Ohms resistance.

I had in mind to follow the procedure by Irata & Orava. Have I botched it and is it still salvageable?
As the glue of the driver assembly seemed to be weakest between the top plate and the cage, I tried to separate the speaker assembly there, instead of between the layers around the magnet. Is the speaker are plate fixed to the cage using screws? There seem to be some places where I cannot separate the glue any further, which could be screws I assume.
Since the Cage and the base plate are separated quite a bit by now in the other places, I am worried I messed up these screws.
You can find pictures of the gap attached.

Here is supposed to be the picture of the gap between cage & top plate. However Im not sure I uploaded it successfully.

Thanks a lot for your input, I appreciate any thoughts to help me salvage this situation a lot :)
