I’ve been getting error codes 81 and 82. I replaced the speed sensor but now get error 82 and no speed registered on the display.

It’s a 2007 e6 with a 5hp GE motor. I went to replace the magnet as I noticed some of the magnet had a small chip in it. I don’t see a screw holding it and before I damage it further, does anyone know if its epoxied and what is the recommendation for getting this removed? See picture below.

You take a flat head screw driver and pry the pressed on magnet off
