get a piece of dental floss or fishing line and run between the emblem and the hood to separate the adhesive.

Pry it off carefully. It's really not that hard.

it still has adhesive as well. if you cut the adhesive you can pry off the emblem with less chance of breaking it.

3m makes a double sided tape that you can get at most parts stores. just tell the clerk what you need it for. or better yet, debadge all your emblems. car looks cleaner without emblems imo.

use a scraper and put duck tape around the end of it and slide it under the emblem then just start pulling the emblem up works for me

use a blow dryer and point it towards the badge, you should be able to use you hands or a small flat head.
