There are two spoke removal tools.
Sacrifice (potential damage risk) good sized needle nose pliers.
cut and peel is a final alternative

Thanks for the reply. I have the two spoke but the spokes are too close together and don’t fit

The needle nose plier trick can shear off the spokes so I’ve been avoiding.
 
I have also used 2 screwdrivers and grab the handles with channel locks(pliers). There's also a type of wrench that inserts into the completely open drain and expands as you put pressure on it
