The core of the stator is iron, so that's what the magnets are attracting.

I just changed mine out mid-last week - there are dowel rods in a few of the bolt connections, they make the cover difficult to get loose. The magnetism of the rotor is not strong enough to make the cover that hard to remove as you state. Between the gasket and the dowels, it's tough going. I used a wide and firm putty knife and was able to "persuade" the cover to come off with a rubber mallet.
