Hi Doug,
Been there, done that. As you have discovered you have to pull the head straight back on a graphite shaft. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a puller Golfsmith sells a pry bar for 18 bux that works just fine. You can see it on page 119 of the Golfsmith catalogue and don't forget to get a set of protective collars with it. As to ferrules, I've never worried about saving them---the're cheap, keep a supply on hand.
The first thing I do, when removing a shaft, is soften the ferrule (with
a heat gun) and cut it off.
