I have a spoke wrench and tried to un-tighten the one that broke with it.
@Jiggle, Just to make sure I understand what you are suggesting is to unscrew the spokes to allow me to reach the broken one?

Do you suggest to change all the nipple since I will have undone most of them? I believe the material is brass.
@FBinNY, so you say, while the wheel is installed on the bike, I put the brake, put some pressure on the wheel (the damaged nipple is oriented like in the picture?), try to grab the broken nipple with a nose plier & unscrew? How should I position the broken nipple (toward me I bet)? Which spoke should I release prior to that?
