Thanks for the tips everyone. But after a failed attempt to do this, I think I’ll leave well alone from now on. The knot glues were stubborn on both handles, eventually I just did the ‘mole grips and twist’ option on the knot I wasn’t bothered about losing. Then I went back to the other brush and finally the knot came loose cleanly, though a number of hairs fell out during the whole process.
Went back to the first one to try and clean out what was left in the cavity, and managed to slice through the top of the handle, which the steam heat had made soft. Ended up throwing the lot in the bin. Not too bothered as I knew of the risks, also I wasn't using either in regular rotation anyway and have another brush on the way too. Just don’t think messing with these things is for me!
