What I did to remove my emblems was take fishing wire and put it behind the emblem and move in a left right motion and it took off the embelm but left alot of glue. What I have seen other people do is take a flat head screwdriver put a towel or rag over it and take it off that way. It still leaves the glue though. That is a real bitch to take off. But I know that 3m makes some stuff that takes that glue off in a jiffy. I wasn't lucky enough to have it though. But you can go to your local store and buy it. Hope this helps.

...Goo- Gone and fishing line or dental floss will do the trick. Soak the glue down behind the emblem with the goo- gone (it's paint safe) and let it soften the glue up for maybe 5 or 10 minutes. After it's been softend up some use the dental floss/fishing line like a saw, moving back and forth/ up and down or whatever. The glue that's left resoak it with the goo gone and wait a coulple minutes and use some elbow grease and more goo-gone to get it all off. Wash and wax the area when finished....

What makes it really easy is do it when the car has sat in the sun for a few hours. Or if not then use a blow dryer to get it hot. Then use dental floss or just pry it with your fingers. Then again with the blow dryer heat the remaining goo & you can just ball it up with your fingers by rubbing.
