Both of my 92s have had the magnet disintegrate, so that is likely the case with yours. That said, I personally would not fool with that rigged up fix in the link by HotZ28. How would you know you got it right? Or that it would last? Anyhow, like HotZ28 said, it is a good idea to change your timing chain and gears and tensioner now anyhow. So to answer your question, is there a better way than tearing the front of your engine apart? No. You have to remove the front cover (get a Haynes manual). Then you have to remove the cam gear to put the new magnet in (but you would hopefully be putting it in your new gear).
