You epoxied your servos into your wood or composite plane. Now the servo has gone bad. How do you get it out?

Heat!

A heat gun or a hair dryer is used to heat the servo and/or the surface it is epoxed to. The heat will cause the epoxy to soften and then go brittle and fail allowing you to twist the servo loose.
