Fortunately, the glue can be flexed to make it peel from the foam (or at least take very little foam with it)
I made a tool that is a piece of music wire bent to a 90 deg angle to help work under the servo. But that doesn't always help a lot. So I don't have the best solution yet.
Often I just give up, slice a chunk out so I can slide a long razor knife blade under the servo. Then I glue the piece back and make a hatch mount for the new servo, so 2 screws and it comes out. (adds weight which is not really a good thing with the smaller airplanes)FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

I had to replace the servo (they are all reverse by the way) and I just grab the wire and pulled at a angle like peeling velcro or a sticker off. Popped right out.Planes
