Caleb, I removed a clubhead from a graphite shaft with my 8 iron recently. It was just being very careful to heat up the hosel in increments of maybe 30 seconds (going around the club nearly the entire time). The first couple of attempts at removal failed. I didn't want to strain the shaft so I was being extra careful. So I just heated up the hosel a little more and on the 3rd attempt the clubhead was removed. I honestly was a little apprehensive and didn't want to cause any damage to the shaft. I'm also trying to not scorch the hosel by keeping the heat in place for too long at any one time.

I removed the ferrule prior to using the shaft/clubhead extractor but that was part of the plan. Bought a bunch of ferrules from Amazon for future use. I've now used this product a few times. If it is a one off, sometimes you can just grab some thick gloves, heat the hosel of the club and after a minute or two you should be able to remove the clubhead. I've done that in the past. However if you are doing this with several clubs or a set, this product works great. The process might be detailed slightly more here: dawnpatrolgolf.com/how-to-use-a-golf-shaft-puller/

How did you remove ferrule prior to heating clubhead?

@@tcruz86 I'm sorry. I should have clarified. I heated up the ferrule with a butane torch and then just used a utility knife to remove. It only takes like 20 seconds and then that ferrule was thrown out. I have a number of different size ferrules, some with a single stripe, double stripe, black, and other colors so replacing it was not an issue. In the past I've also used a heat gun to remove the ferrule but it takes a little longer.

Actually, I have nothing to do with the company. Simply trying to find better ways to build and repair golf clubs in my golf cave for myself and buddies.
