What you will need:
-1/8 Drill Bit
-Drill plus attachments (Be careful when drilling so as not to drill out the other side- go slow!
-1/8 magnets
-Super Glue
-Toothpicks
-An arm to sell in order to purchase new Helbrute from GW (A leg will suffice, but you might not get as much for it)
-Model (well yeah)

(of course, you don't have to use 1/8 size tools.. it's just what I had on hand)

1.) First, dry fit so that you know exactly where to put the magnets on the optimal contact points. The points I chose are visible in the following pictures. I did not use the Autocannon, because it uses the same power hose/cord that the Lascannon uses..

2.) If you've got a deep hole where a magnet could fall into, just put a big drop of super glue over the hole and use the toothpick to slide the magnet in place. Push it down slowly into the hole- the super glue will, for the most part, prevent the magnet from just falling down into it.

3.) Make sure that you allow the pieces + magnets to dry before fitting them back in place. It's very annoying to have to go back and pull magnets apart that got glued together..

4.) You'll notice that in my pictures there is a piece that attached between the Lascannon/Heavy Bolter and the right gun arm. Putting a magnet on the front side of this piece will still make it clip to the magnet on the main gun arm/shoulder.
