Datsv8r Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I am trying to get my car ready for paint and I do not know how to remove the emblems. I do not want to break these. They are in good shape. Any help? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 They're just a press fit, with spring clips. Pry up the edges and they'll pop out. Don't know how fragile they are so use a wide blade and work slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillar Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 As NewZed stated, they snap in and out. There should be some little slots on the top (about the width of a flat-head screwdriver blade) that is there for the purpose of popping them off. Just stick a flat-head or other similar tool/object in there and pry gently. Once it starts to come out, you should be able to get an additional flat object behind it to spread out the pressure.

RebekahsZ Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 You will probably break some of the pins off the back, even if you try not to. #oldcarprobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Spray some WD-40 or PB Blaster on first to help. They rust.
