Never had to use it for bikes, but it might work.
In similar similar situations I've used hot oil in a french fryer (450°) and had success breaking the corrosion bonds. So you have two choices, boiling water with an oce water quench, or hot oil with a cold oil quench.
Do not quench hot oil in water, it'll spatter and burn you.
