Bear in mind, once you open it up, then it's trash. Mostly
improbable that you can re-align the gap. Not to mention
a loss of flux density.

There are certainly folks who know how to do it.
I would, personally, be terrified to be working around that kind of magnetic field with any tools made of steel or any other magnetizable metal!
Heck, given a free 802D, I would think the cost of a trip to GPA for a rehab would be easy to justify.
It's not a 288, but the 802D is a pretty nice small-format compression driver (at least, to my ears and taste)
Worth investin' a few shekels in, you know?
:-)
all the best,

That's why I wanted to be sure. GPA can fix it but I have so many Altec,JBL,and EV compression drivers that it is no big deal..I will take it to the machine shop which is one building away from the auto tech lab where I teach so it's no big deal.

Yeah, like I said it was an end of life situation. Maybe he can refill the gaps with dense solder??? Not the same but it may help?
Lead solder too soft...silver solder would do it..melting point
lower than brass rod, but about as strong. Might still get too
hot with torch...MAPP gas as a minimum.
JB weld is impressive epoxy....might work.
