On my Metallica I have the Cliffy protector around the hammer magnet. I think it's causing air balls so I want to remove it. What is the best way to get this thing off without damaging the playfield?

Ive got the same issue. I have a cliffy magnet protector on the sparky magnet and its become warped causing air balls. How did removal go for you? How did you end up removing it?

Get yourself one of these after your get it removed. Silver vinyl that is easily replaceable once it shows any kind of wear.

The larger ones for the hammer magnet are 8 for $12.00. The standard size magnet, like the one for sparky, are 10 for $12.00. I can do them in pretty much any standard color. They also work great in all of the other Stern games. I have them installed on Iron Man and Star Trek as well.

I used a blow dryer and a razor blade. Very carefully. Worked like a champ. Thanks to luch for the advice.

Those silver vinyl protectors look really good. I'll have to pick some of those up.
