Default How to properly alignin a tweeters VC in the magnetic gap?

I have a few older tweeters that could use new fluid in the gap.
Is there a "proper way" to align the voice coil in the magnetic gap using a multi meter? Or do you use some sort of signal generator?
These tweeters that I have are unlike some of the B&W tweeters where they have alignment knubs. These were easy to realign after replacing the ferro fluid.

I have successfully cleaned out all the old ferro fluid in them and I now have the new ferro fluid (from parts express) ready to go...

Any tips would greatly be appreciated

I can understand using shims with aligning the VC for a woofer but for a tweeter? How would one go about doing that?
