so ive been meaning to build up my own shaft puller for a while now but never got around to collecting all the pieces and such. I finally saw a method of building one on another site and decided to piggyback off of that as it involved the least amount of leg work for what i needed it for.
I recently got a 7M3 shaft in that i wanted for my 3W, so and my friend wanted the stock shaft from mine in his ping 4W.
So i had to pull an adams adapter and also pull the stock shaft from the PING.
I built the puller using a $10 can crushing mechanism. Used my dremel and ground away a slot that would fit a .355 taper shaft, which ended up working perfect for the woods. screwed it down to a scrap piece of plywood, and mounted a vise i had laying around as well.
It worked flawlessly pulling off the G10 head, and the stock shaft looked to be just fine. Then for the adapter on the adams, i took the shaft out of the head, and actually could not find a washer laying around. I looked around my toolbox and actually used a coin-style spark plug gapper, and put the shaft screw through the hole in the spark plug gapping tool, and secured it to the shaft so that the shaft puller would pull on the gapping tool. Add a little heat and voila adapter was off and shaft was saved. Installed into the G10 and we're both enjoying reshafted fairways
.
I may try to improve this thing if i need to in the future, maybe somehow rig up a bottle jack or a scissor jack in there to do the force applying but for right now this seemed to work just fine.
