I spent a few hours last night getting plastic Ork Killa Kans out of sprues and assembling.

I made the mistake of crazy glueing a grotzooka arm onto one of the kan models.

I looked over the forums for an answer to mistaken glued bits, but couldn't come up with much.

For removing the piece, what have other people done to remove plastic parts that fit snugly together and crazy glued by accident?

If you used plastic glue, you're pretty much screwed. Crazy glue... can't remember if it's plastic bonding or not, but an hour in the freezer plus hobby-knife leverage usually does the trick.

They make CA solvent, no need to do that and make the plastic brittle as well.

That said, CA can melt GW plastic contact surface as well.

CA is coming up as Chapter Approved or California in the abbreviation dictionary (or whatever that is that comes up for shortened words like SM).

Can you give me the full spelling so I can look up that information for it?

Cyanoacrylate.

If you haven't painted it yet, an overnight dunk in purple power or simple green will help break the superglue bond. I use it mostly for metal on plastic bonds, but it often helps with plastic/plastic bonds as well.
