Yes sir. I did the process outdoors expecting a nasty, fume-heavy experience. In actuality, there was little to no smoke & no smell that that could be detected (I was outdoors though). I chalk it up to advancements in binding-agent technology.
I clamped a pickle fork into a vice on the ground, clamped the column end of the new XJ shaft to the handle, & heated about a 4" length of the shaft where the 2 halves met. After a few mins, I was able to easily pull the box end of the shaft apart from the column end. I tried wiping off the residual 'glue' but it didn't like that & basically kind of smeared. So I grabbed a hard metal scraper & w/a couple of hard hits it sliced through & fell off.
The binding material definitely feels like some sort of plastic.
