pull.
mine came off with a little force. I rattle-canned it black and put some adhesive on the back and put it back on.

use dental floss...put it through the space between the emblem and the car and pull...it usually takes it right off.

hey I was wondering about the backing of new emblems. Does the adhesive they come on work well? I never thought I'd actually changed my rear emblem, but I think I'm going to. The rear adhesive seems a little weak looking to me
is it cool, or should an extra peice advised?

Easiest way to get an emblem off? Hmm....chainsaw? Blow torch? Maybe the Deathstar? Nah, do the dental floss

When I touched the adhesive on the back of my new emblem, it seemed akin to scotch tape. I think it has special stuff to bond to paint, because I had to re-align mine slightly after I had carefully placed it and it was a beotch to get off again.
