It's probably either a very tight friction fit or possible an errant molecule of misdirected model cement.

Try using slightly more insistent "encouragement" , maybe even slipping in some blade like a table knife to add a little leverage.  If there was a screw holding it on , certainly it was applied separately.  Although before doing anything, you should very, very carefully examine to make sure there's not a second screw somewhere that needs to be undone.
