I have had the same fault with one of these speakers. it must be common on the DAC.
I found there was no need to remove the cone. With 3 shims inserted to centre the voice coil the cone could be pulled up leaving a gap to put glue around the rim of the inner centre ring with a fine paint brush.
Then just push the cone back down so the fabric pushes on the frame and leave overnight.
I didn't want to risk removing the fine layer of rust as it would have gone in the voice coil gap.
