Headed for the 19th hole

I decided that my wife needed a new set of irons for Christmas. I bought a set of Cleveland HiBore Hybrid Irons with regular graphite shafts thinking that they would be on the more flexible side (like all the OEM graphite shafts I have ever hit). Unfortunately, she did not hit them well when we went to the course this weekend. I decided that I should check the flex since she was having trouble getting any height, and these clubs actually flex stiffer than labeled. I need to know if I should reshaft, or sell and re-purchase the senior shafts? I found some relatively inexpensive graphite shafts, but I have never reshafted a graphite club. Is this a job for a relative novice or should I seek professional assistance? I looked at the Golfsmith site and it seemed to be the same process as removing a steel shaft, but I assume you need to be more patient applying heat to a graphite club (if you don't want to cause damage). Thanks in advance for any advice.
