KCee 😂 I wasn't going to pull the shaft, but will now. I've got some suspicions of what the paint may do when heating, it does have quite a short hosel. But...I'll find out shortly.
edit....Well, 'that was easy'! I used heat gun, which I normally never use, but have been pulling a lot of adapters the last couple days. Paint still perfect! Let me know if you want it.
