derailleur hanger glued on?
I'm trying to take the derailleur hanger off my frame, but it won't budge even after I took the screws out. It appears to be glued to the frame.

That would be highly unusual.
It's possible the hanger was installed while the paint was still a little wet.

Tap it *gently* with a hammer or even the handle of a screwdriver towards the driveside of the frame. it should pop off.

painter's pallet knives are thinner than screwdrivers.
