Answer
Dave,
There's several judgements to be made to do this right but before you do ,
Can you inject glue?
OK so get a small hammer and a nail , blunted , smaller than the pin head. Then you tape it light , slowly moving it below the ferrule wall.
To remove ferrules :
Number one try pulling with hands only , never use pliers or tools .
If that doesn抰 work apply just a little heat - Use a non carbon base flame  or heat source such as a hair drier , alcohol lamp, steam from a tea kettle  or heat gun. Don抰 use a candle . Many times a cigarette lighter (butane , Bick , commonly sold )  will be enough . Heat the round edge (end)  of male ferrules , never near the rod . Apply only a little heat and then pull with a leather glove  or  kitchen mitt.  A male ferrule can become a jet engine if you heat near the rod and fly off like a bullet. Turn the rod when applying heat ,  there by distributing  the heat.
I built a ferrule puller to use in conjunction with heat ?please find pictures of it on

The first picture is an old timer from someone抯 shop .
Basically its a 8- 10 inch piece of 1 X 2 with holes drilled of various sizes . The board is cut through the holes . I put a piece of lather across the top to give it a hinge , tacks and glue . It helps to extend the grip of the ferrule  closer to 360 degrees when applying heat and pulling.
Pulling ferrules is a skill , go slow , take you time with heat and you can learn it.
