Re: Pulling iron shafts.

I heat it up w/ a torch and use my feet (with shoes on) to hold it while I loosen it. Keeping the head on a towel so it doesn't get scratched.

It twists off pretty easily if heated enough. I usually keep a pray bottle full of water close by. And then I spray the head as soon as it's off, to cool it down a bit.

Also, be sure to twist using the grip....don't grab the shaft!!!!
