Not sure if you completed this repair, but here is a video I made of how to remove the woofer. I have refoamed about 6 JL Fathom subs... I have also refoamed about 100 woofers/speakers over the past 25 years...
The Fathom subs are not difficult and they are much more forgiving than a high efficient fragile paper cone speaker! So you can be a little rough with them and be ok.
I personally like to play bass music through my subs while I am conducting the refoam.... It helps to push the woofer up to mate with the foam. Once they mate, you can keep pressing the cone/foam together and the bond gets stronger. Bass music playing also automatically seats the voice coil in perfect alignment and you can confirm that while making the repair in real time. After bonding is solid I get a fan blowing on the woofer to help dry the glue. I like to use Simply Speakers refoam kits. They have the best glue and the foam is the correct proper color. Hope that helps!
