Default Evershed and Vignoles megger.

Some years ago I dismantled an Evershed and Vignoles Megger and left myself a note telling me that the magnet was US. However on returning to this project, I found that the horseshoe magnet was good !! I have now started to put it back to one piece, but need advice on one point. I have inserted the needle rollers into the capped end of the generator, but not sure how I should replace needles into the end with the gear. If I insert them into the casing with grease, will the horseshoe magnet pull them out again before I get a chance to insert the armature.? Hopefully some easy trick to do this operation. I guess this may be directed to Ed Dining. !!
Mike.
