Actually its a lot easier.
Remove them and hit them with a hammer a few times. Done
The blow from the hammer actually reorients the dipoles to randmoize them and the magnetism goes away.

Quoted from MrBally:Usually, the parts disappears though and you end up replacing it with a new, unmagnetized part.
Hahaha- absolutely
Just to clear up what may be a confusion point here...
The soldering gun method being talked about here (move in corcular motions close to the magnetized element) has nothing whatsoever to do with the temp of the element. It works because the soldering gun is plugged into an AC voltage and the tip basically forms an electromagnetic field that oscillates and scrambles the aligned field in the metal.
Dont try to heat you pieces with the element- its not hot enough to do anything by heat transfer- but you will very efficiently melt all the plastics near it.
