Hello TFlan,
Thanks a lot, You have helped a great deal. My original thought was to drill it out, but I was afraid it may have been a hardened screw or dowel. I didn't want to damage the hosels or shafts That worried me the most. If it is soft metal, it should not be too difficult at all. I will torch the shafts and use my shaft puller after I get the pin removed. Since they are forged they should clean up real good.
Thanks again.
Tom

Either drill it out or punch it in. The pin doesn't go completely through the shaft and into the opposite side. You can drill it out easily if it's a pin. They're soft metal. After reshafting you can fill the hole with epoxy or you can insert a "dummy" pin. A small brad or even a 2d nail will work just fine.One caveat though. Some Hogan irons had threaded, or ridged hosels. The shafts weren't threaded though. The ridges were there for the adhesive. These shafts can be difficult to remove simply because of the tight fit. Plenty of heat and a crowbar type lever will generally get them off easily. Whatever you do, do not break off a tip in the hosel. If that happens you have real problems.TFlan----- Original Message -----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2005 12:55 PMHello all.I am a golf club fitting/repair hobbyist and am seeking some advice. A friend of mine wants me to re-shaft his Hogan irons. I have researched all the appropriate components I will need for the tapered hosel but I have a minor dilemma. As I am looking at these hosels of the OEM shafts installed I see some sort of screw and or pin in the back of the hosel. It would be easy if it were a dowel pin through. I could drive that out.It would also be easy if my friend didn't want the shafts back I could cut them off and drill out the hosel.My question is what is the best way to remove this screw/pin before I pull the shafts?--
