I used to remove a lot of these pots on Zenith TVs, and the way I did it was to take a soldering gun, and get the tip between 2 of the lugs and get them real hot, then immediately heat up the 3rd lug and wiggle the pot out of there. Sometimes it took a lot of heating up lugs back and forth until I was able to work the pot out of there. After the pot was removed I would heat one lug up at a time up again, taking a solder sucker to remove the remaining solder so I could install the new one.
