I've had no problem undoing broken spokes, without any heat or releasing
fluid - these are chrome, painted may be worse. I've actually had one wheel
replaced with stainless to see if that solves the breakage issue. However
that will be a long-term test as the chrome ones didn't start breaking until
after four of five years and then just the occasional one. Since then the
breakage rate has gone up and I have found two or three on one wheel after a
five-hundred mile or so run. Although funnily enough I've just got back
from one of those had one broken before I started and still only that one
broken on my return.
