If you like pulleys and other mechanical things, then why don't you try solving this problem this way? Sometimes there are different solution for a problems, and in this case, I can imagine one that might work.

Instead of mounting the servo at the end of the arm, you mount the servo on the other end of the arm near the body, or where ever the pwm cable will reach to. Then you attach those little plastic extensions thing that you can attach on the servo at the other end of the arm, and have a long wire or string connecting between them, use pulleys if necessary. This way, when the servo spin on this end of the arm, the other end will be pulled by the servo and also spin... The only worry about this is the efficiency of the whole setup, if you don't do it well you are going to lose power from the servo, and they are already weak enough.
