Are you talking about the tenon? It sounds like the tenon is stuck in the mortise and you are unscrewing the tenon from the stem, rather than pulling the mortise and tenon apart. I would like to see a couple of pics before I give too much advice, though. I had the reverse problem with an estate meer once. My mortise had been glued to the tenon. I treated it with alcohol and got it free but I had to get a new mortise.
