I use a cheap brush, needle or my wife's orange wood cuticle pushers for neat glue jobs.
Keep a few square peices of rag (for wiping, don't use a large rag because if glue gets on one end, it's only a matter of time before everything has a bit of glue, little squares keep things from spreading) but there are many techniques for gluing

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely take note!

EDIT: I got the E8000 adhesive.

E8000 with a precision tip.

I usually just spread it on the shell and snap the cover over it. Then rub the excess away or peel it with some tweezers after a few minutes.

I ordered the one with the metal tip. I guess that is the precision tip?

I can't wait for it to arrive so I can fix up my Yinman 600.

The funny thing about the Yinman 600 is that it uses a black MX500 style front covers that are actually about 1mm larger than the wooden back shell, so nothing is actually holding them together, unlike the MX500 type front and back which snaps on.

Also, MX500 driver cover is in most cases larger than metal shells you can find on Ali. Apply glue (small amount of course) on
shell "lips". By small amount I mean on two opposite sides of "lips". If you want to play with the driver (tuning, shell modification or replacement) than the better option is double-sided duct tape

Anybody recognises this diver?

TL;DR : Most likely a 32ohm Black DoCoMo driver or variation of them. (I start rambling below this, reader digression is advised)

Either a 32ohm long black DoCoMo driver or even the 16ohm newer type, based off the dot. More likely to be the 32ohm because of the mesh but you never really know. I have 2 pairs of those drivers without the green dot and one of them sounds like a less warm and close to neutral version of the Cygnus (hence why I think they're just rejected NTT drivers) whilst the other is genuinely just a long black DoCoMo in a "PK" shell. I would like to see a picture of these next to another "PK" style driver just to confirm.

Thanks for your valuable input! It is true that the MX500 driver cover is indeed larger than the wooden back shell of the wooden Yinman 600 which I will be fixing.

By "lips" do you mean the part of the MX500 driver cover where it wraps around the back shell? I think I need a better way to identify the anatomy of the earbud parts in case I get glue on the wrong places!

You are most likely right.
Actually it is from a long black docomo shell, I bought for the shell alone.

Now I am confused. Bucause it sounds so good, I dont want to destroy it.
I am not sure what I am hearing. Anyway, this is a keeper, and I need a new donor shell.
I should throw away the cheap cable and this will be a gem.

I can make a video or a text guide on how to open a DoCoMo shell, though not 100% sure if the drivers themselves need a bit of head to come out.

For me should not bother. I use my trusty beer opener. See my post.
Otherwise, it is a good idea to make a howto post of opening different shells.

By "lips" I mean front part of shell head where driver is placed. You can add glue on the outher side (left and right)

^this is also how I glue drivers/covers on.

A bit of glue about 4mm long on both left and right, on the outside of the shell opening, where the cover overlaps. Press cover on, let sit for a few minutes and then remove excess glue.

This keeps it from plugging or blocking any tuning holes/paper/foam, grabbing the drivers if needing to take it apart and makes for easy clean up.

Yes I totally forgot about that "trusty" thing
I assume that your model use PK2 driver (32ohm).
