try heating them just slightly with a hair dryer, that should soften the adhesive enough to make them come off much easier. Don't heat them too much you don't want to damage the arrow if they are carbons.

I just took mine off last weekend on the way to the bow range, I just pulled the fletching off and stuck the ends on the heater vents of the truck and peeled off 5 arrows worth of crests in 15 miles. Worked great I was driving too.
