What I did was use a blow dryer to heat up the adhesive under the emblem and separate the emblem and the adhesive with floss (Any other strong string works). Just keep at it, takes from 10-20 minutes I think, I can't remember.

I've heard some people use double sided tape. I tried some double sided tape on my dash and it didn't work so I don't know how it sticks to the car if can't stick to my dash.

Cool

Fishing wire works great for removal.

3M adhesive for putting them back on.

Pb blaster when u remove them. Let it sit for a couple minutes and pry them by hand, very easy. Don't use too thick of a double sided tape, u'll see why if you do.
