Step 1

Place the shaft, or what remains of it if it is broken, in a vise parallel to the floor. Secure the shaft in the vise.

Step 2

Apply heat evenly to the hosel for about a minute, using a heat gun or heat torch. This will break down the epoxy that bonds the shaft to the hosel and make removal easier. If you are working with graphite shafts, use a heat gun, not a torch. Wear goggles and protective gloves.

Step 3

Remove heat from the hosel and twist the club head counterclockwise. It should twist off fairly easily. If it does not, apply more heat.

Step 4

Clean out any remaining epoxy in the hosel. Begin using a file and scrape away the residue, then apply a solvent to a small rag and wipe down the interior of the hosel. You may want to push the rag in with the tip of a screwdriver or similar tool.

Step 1

Put on protective gloves and keep them on until the procedure is complete.

Step 2

Heat the hosel (small metal joint linking the shaft to the club head) with a heating gun. Be sure to dispense heat evenly on all sides of the hosel and don't be alarmed if small amounts of white smoke begin to escape the hosel cavity. That is just the old epoxy melting.

Step 3

Place the grip end of the club on the ground so the head end is sticking straight up and gently pull the head off the shaft. Do not twist, especially if you want to reuse the shaft or sell it, as twisting may harm the inner walls of the hosel as well as the tip of the shaft.

Step 4

Allow the club head to cool completely once its been liberated from the shaft.

Step 5

Roll up a small piece of sandpaper and use it to clean out any remaining epoxy residue inside the hosel joint, making it ready for the insertion of a new shaft.

Step 1

Use a utility knife to scrape off the ferrule at the connection point between the shaft and the clubhead. Scrape down toward the head and away from your body.

Step 3

Press down on the hosel with a pry bar. Do not twist the head off, as this can damage the shaft. As you press on the hosel, have your other hand ready to catch the clubhead when it drops off the shaft.
