This happened to me on my basic 5300's armature.

The fix is simple...

Pull the magnet off the shaft.

Next, coat the inside of the magnet where it slides on the shaft with a two part epoxy, such as jb weld. Slide the magnet back onto the shaft, at approximatly the same place. Let it sit for 24 hours and you should be good! Make sure to wipe away all the excess epoxy.

Tip: The magnet is neodynium, a super strong magnet. Be sure not to get it near any metal shavings. Also, do not drop it, if you were to fracture the magnet you'd need a new rotor. (I beleive they are fairly fragile.)
