The alignment of the extruder gear on my Prusa i3 is not correct, but when I try to adjust it, the gear does not move. I unscrew the tiny holding screws, but can not move the gear along the shaft at all. Is it glued down?

There are 2 screws on gear.

I think you have to use a tool.

I've tried a wrench to remove it, but it appears to be completely stuck. It should be removable, correct?

Yes, it can be easily removed, because it was easily assembled.

I was able to remove it eventually, just had to hit it with a hammer a few times.
