I don’t have any sort of a setup in my garage but I have a rubber clamp and can use a torch…can I get the same result? I just want to remove a TM sleeve off this shaft and install a Callaway sleeve…
Is it possible to remove the screw within the driver head? My screw is .25mm too small for the shaft I got and I’d rather change it than change tips if possible..
@@U2binator yeah I’ve had a look and found nothing! Guna have to just swap the tips over from my old shaft to the new one. Weird how some driver adapter kits come with new screws and washers so no idea but oh well! Thanks for the reply and the informative video! Hopefully I don’t cock it up lol
Honestly I'm not sure, but if you can't, depending on the size of the torque screw you could probably drill it out and then get the adapter off. And then buy a new torque screw
@@U2binator absolutely. I've done numerous ones the past year. The top of the adaptor has a plastic casing that indicates the settings. When you apply even a little heat it melts. The adaptor is still perfectly functional but doesn't show the settings and looks unfinished.
@@paulkellygolf yep mines isn't metal like the old days now it's hard plastic and melts, I'm gonna broil some hot water and let the water sit for a minute then stick the tip of the adapter into the water to cover only the adapter, I'm doing it today.
I wasn't trying to save the adapter buy it could possibly yes, be careful, one person commented you could wrap it in aluminum foil prior to heating to help, you could try that.
i just tried it and i used a torch not a heat gun and worked great ,, i was very carefull to not burn the shaft and was able to save the ferrul ,, heating only took 20 seconds ,,, pulled it off with plyers , no shaft damage , new adapter for different driver ,, done deal
Used a variation of this method. No vice required. Just heat gun and pliers over a sink. Instead of using driver head just take screw from it and attach on to adapter a few turns. Heat adapter and avoid heating the screw. Then pull the screw with the pliers after heating the adapter for a while. I had a wet cloth to protect graphite shaft too. Cheers pal.
Top tip doing it with a gas torch is wrap some silver foil around it a 2 or 3 layers is plenty, stops any heat burns.
After destroying top tip, I saw your msg or trick 😅
Good stuff. Using the Driver head to remove adapter was the step I was missing. Cheers mate!
Saved me from buying a puller. Came off very easy with a heat gun, thank you!
Surely twisting the head off is damaging the shaft!!
Is it the turning that does this? Need a straight pull idea.
Can confirm not to do this. I did this and now my shaft is splintered all through the tip
@@thebigmarcooch Ok. I ordered a puller off of GolfWorks. Not going to mess around with expensive shafts only to destroy them.
@@Kridian01 yeah that’s the way to go I think. I Live and you learn I guess
Great idea.With a little heat came right off. You are the man
I was trying with basic hot gun, which usually used for home or school stuff but not happening, cant able to remove, shaft adapter so easily...
Fantastic!!! You made it look so easy. Thanks.
Dude, you're a genius.
But the collar is made of plastic and will melt... Do you just buy a new one?

I don't see why not, your setup sounds better than mine 😃

That's a good question, you might search TH-cam for how to remove the screw, you may have to drill it out.

I tried this last night and the damn thing is on tight haha i was using a heat gun but im use a torch tonight
Hi . The tork screw snapped in the adaptor on m4 .. can the adaptor be removed when the screw is still in the adaptor..thanks
Honestly I'm not sure, but if you can't, depending on the size of the torque screw you could probably drill it out and then get the adapter off. And then buy a new torque screw
Can't you screw the clubhead partially onto the adapter and pull?
That's what I did basically, the glue literally had no force left at all so you can pull, twist, whatever.
Yes, put a washer on the tip screw and pull on the washer. Ideal if you want to save the shaft and not twist loose the graphite fibres.
Do you have a trick for removing the adaptor on M series? They have a plastic casing on them that melts when heated.
I don't. Are you sure it's plastic?

@@matt7ironwhat is the result
What kind of epoxy did you use?
Could you use a gas cooker flame instead of a torch?
Possibly, I think they are around the same temperature.
Yes I used the gas hob method to remove a putter head. Heated it, stood on the putter head, pulled it out.
Good video helped me out thanks
You bet!
Does the torch ruin the adapter at all?

Never a heat gun..5 seconds per side with the torch
Toller Tipp ,danke !! Thx
What kind of glue do you use to the shaft adaptor
It's a special Adapter adhesive that's very inexpensive...

The golf stuff is same as standard epoxy from auto parts stores
Clever to use the head.
THANK YOU!!
Dude those are pliers. But helpful vid otherwise lol
