You're working with delicate components, and you don't want to risk damaging your club. Take your time, and you'll be rewarded with a successful removal.
Now that you've prepared your club, you're ready to move on to the next step.
Remove the Hosel Pin Safely
With the clubhead clean and ready, you'll need to carefully position the pin punch over the hosel pin, ensuring it's centered and aligned properly for a safe removal. This small metal rod is what secures the club head to the shaft, and it's vital to remove it correctly to avoid damaging the club. Using the correct tools, such as pin punches and a whipping stand, is essential for a successful removal process.
Next, gently tap the pin punch with a mallet, applying gentle pressure to coax the hosel pin out of its position. Be patient, as this process may take some time and finesse.
It's better to err on the side of caution and take your time, rather than applying too much force and risking damage to the club.
Extract the Club Head
You'll need to utilize a shaft puller to carefully extract the club head from the shaft, avoiding any harm to either component. This is especially vital when working with graphite shafts, which can be prone to damage.
Before you start, apply heat to the hosel area using a heat gun to loosen the epoxy adhesive holding the club head in place. This will make the extraction process much smoother.
Next, use the shaft puller to gently twist and pull the club head away from the shaft. Be cautious not to apply excessive force, as it can lead to breakage or harm to the club head or shaft. You want to find that perfect spot where the club head comes free without putting too much stress on either component.
Once you've successfully extracted the club head, take a moment to inspect the shaft for any damage or residue. This is an important step, as you'll want to guarantee the shaft is in good condition before proceeding with any repairs or replacements.
With the club head removed, you're one step closer to giving your golf club the makeover it needs.
