Just lightly heat them up with a Propane torch, the adapter comes right out, the taper is the same. They will be about 15 gr. lighter.

4dog, I've got some older ones that look like aluminum. Problem I have with them is they won't fit a tapered point end yet a 5/16" or 11/32" shaft won't fit them without tapering. The taper inside the adapter doesn't seem to be the standard taper. I had to fuss and sandpaper them by hand to fit.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.
