Metal or Plastic
Are your gears and arms metal or plastic? Don't understand why it wouldn't come loose 
Many of us get a gear puller such as the Bolink BL6014 gear puller for cars and modify it. Keep trying and let me know what you come up with_bob

SG, hold the servo arm to keep it from moving while you turn the screw counter-clockwise. I should come loose.
Once you get the screw off, the servo arm pulls straight up and off. sometimes this takes a little force, especially new ones, because it's a tight fit. The shaft coming out of the servo is splined (has teeth) just like the inside of the servo arm. The servo arm that you are going to put on there (your replacment) also has splines. Before you put it on, turn your transmitter on, and then plug your servo and battery into the reciever and make sure the sticks and trims on your transmitter are centered, and this will center the servo. This way you can install your new servo arm onto the servo in the centered position.

A word of caution. If you are changing servo arms make sure they are the same brand of servos. You cannot put a Futaba horn on an Airtronics servo. Most brands are not interchangeable when it comes to servo horns.
