Anyway, that problem probably occured because there was too much of a vacuum created when you pushed the CPU pins into the thermal grease. So removing it proved a problem and caused you to break the pin.
Next time use di-electric grease. If you need to remove the chip again, try heating it up a bit with a hair dryer to help with removal.

Wow cool, learn something new everyday!
A friend of mine had silicone "grease" from his DSS dish install kit, and didn't know it was really an RTV type silicone. he thought it just stayed in a gel form and wouldn't turn to a solid.
Well he coated his socket with it, pushed the CPU in... and that's the end of that story, tried to pry the cpu out and destroyed the mobo, cpu, and socket. Nice eh?
thank god it was a just a lil fun we were having trying to super cool a Pentium 233MMX and OC it to 300
