Actuator Wires

The actuator wires run from the receiver to the copper solenoid coil of the rudder. It looks like a single wire, but it is actually a twisted pair of insulated copper magnet wire (the copper itself is 0.04mm in diameter).

Repair of MiniAct and MicroAct actuator - Magnets off

The little magnets on the actuators have fallen off in a crash or due to poor handling near metal objects etc. How do I reattach them? I can use CA glue I guess, but I'm nervous about that stuff running into the bearings and gluing the whole thing solid. Mostly I'm wondering about the magnet polarity. How do I determine whether I have the magnets attached with the poles in the correct orientation?
