ShopTalk: Fat shaft removal

[Keith E. Anderson]

Aloha all! I have a customer who wants his Fat shaft (steel shaft) 
iron heads sent out for refinishing. Has anyone here successfully 
removed the heads from these irons and then re-installed them? I am 
led to believe that there is a plastic plug that joins the head and 
shaft, and I am worried that I will melt or deform it during the 
removal process. Has Billy Bob or anyone else come up with an after 
market replacement? Needless to say I am not going anywhere on this 
job until I talk to someone who has done it before. TIA - Keith
