How to replace Dexter brake magnets

I inspected the brakes on my TT today and noticed that one of the brake magnets was worn more than the other. The more wore one had only 1 wear indicator visible and the other had 4 wear indicators visible. So I want to replace both magnets but have no idea how they are attached to the lever arm. I have the Dexter 4000 pound axles. I have searched the internet but can't find a video anywhere. Can somebody tell me how to remove the magnets? I put some pictures of the magnet and shoes. Thanks

I believe you push them against the arm, turn them a half turn, and slip them off.

The magnet comes with a spring and a clip. I don't know where the clip is located and what it does.

Spring goes on first, magnet next, clip goes through the slot in magnet to secure it.

When you remove your wheel, examine and take pics of existing setup for reference before you start.
