Some has a small pin you have to punch out. Others are pressed on and don't come off so easy

If you want it off just so you can replace it then hit it with a B.F.H. (big friggen Hammer), try heating it with a heat gun, or use a Propane torch to heat the shaft. If yours is in great shape then go to the bone yard and find another one, hammer the pin out that holds it to the column and pull it take it home and crush the plastic in a vise and it will come off! If you want it off bad enough, you just have to be willing to break something!!

This is just my 2¢

No such thing as quick and easy....it's almost easier just to replace the entire arm....
