Very smart!
Try the heat again (soldering iron), it may take a good 20 to 30 seconds of heat to get the loctite to break down. Try to pull while it is still hot.
Did the pinion go on the shaft easy? If you used any force to push the pinion on it may be more than the loctite holding it on. May require carefull cutting to remove.

Blue Loctite is a better choice for our RC hobby.
