Take the servo apart and plug it into it's signal source with a neutral signal being sent to it (normally an RC receiver with the RC transmitter stick in the center) Turn the pot until the motor stops moving. You then glue up the pot so it can't move, and do whatever is required to allow the output gear to spin freely on the pot's shaft (changes depending on the brand of servo) To save a little time/work, rather than replacing the pot with fixed resistors, you can freeze it in it’s central position.

These servos can be used as drive motors for small robots etc. The guide can also be used for different types of servos too - Link.
