Problem removing alum. servo horn from servo head.
 
I'm trying to remove an alum. servo horn from my Hitec HS-7955TG servo and it's not moving.(It's the correct sizeservo horn-incase anyone's wondering)It was a tight fit when Iinstalled and Idid put a little thread-lock on the screw(I was able to remove the screw easily). I don't want to get too rough with it so as not to damage the servo cuz it's an expensive one. Any ideas?

if it has a slot (where you put the screw) you could take a small flat head screwdriver and wedge it in the slot, this should help getting the horn off.

try a small flat head and work under the horn (bottom of it) all the way around the horn but gently see if that helps.

I use a soldering gun to loosen connections. Touch the hot tip gingerly to heat it up then pry on it. Not on a nylon shaft though.
