To attempt to put his question in English:

After you cut the blade at the fuse point of a broken OPS, there is that little piece in there that was the tenon of the blade. He wants to know how to get it out without sending it to a professional, and not cutting above it.

To answer this question:

I have heard of people heating it up and taking a chisel and/or screwdriver to it and trying to just chisel it all out of there. Takes a while, I'm sure... If it were mine, I'd just cut above it and put a 3" composite endplug in it (that's about how much you'll lose by cutting above the hosel).

On a TPS stick you lose about 2"... (Or at least my retail XN10).

A dremmel or rotary tool will do the trick - basically you have to drill and sand out the rest of the tenon from inside the shaft. Takes time and patience, but result can be a perfectly good tapered shaft.

what if you don't have a dremmel tool. Can you just heat the shaft up and chisel with a hammer and flathead screwdriver. Does it just come out clean in one solid block or in many different pieces.

I don't think trhat strategy would work well. Depending on the stick, the tenon can be pretty well fused to the shaft - I don't think you could keep it hot long enough and hand chiselling sounds messay and painful

As long as you are careful and patient chiseling is a good way to go about it. It won't come out all in one piece. You'll need to have a needle nose pliers near by to reach in and pull out some of the slivers. I've done it with about 3 different synergys and its worked every time. It also gets easier the more you do it.
