I need to replace the nose wheel steering arm which has broken. To do this I need to remove the nose wheel leg from the servo housing but I can’t for the life of me see how it is removed from the housing. Anybody any ideas ?

A gear that steers (rotates side to side) is generally held on with a "C" clip that is on top of the trunion. In the retracted position, sometimes you can see this clip. It keeps the gear strut pin from falling out.
However, to remove the tiller arm (steering arm), you can try to undo the grub screws (hex nut) that holds the strut on the pin and then the steering arm grub screw. There may be 2 such grub screws, on on each side of the strut and on the tiller. Undo the ones on one side, deploy the retract and you'll see the one(s) on the other side.

Here is the strut parts: https://www.motionrc.com/products/fr...uts-fj20511084
The middle one is the nose strut. Notice the groove on the end of the wire? The C clip goes there. If you can't get at it with the retract together (in the retracted position), then you can take the two halves of the retract body apart and take out the strut/trunion assembly. Note how it sits before it comes out so you know how to put it back. Once out, you can access the clip. From there, removing the tiller arm should be obvious.
