Just work a piece of fishing string, or dental floss under the badge, cutting back & forth thru the double-stick tape backing. Then use something like WD-40 or Goo-Gone to remove the residue leftover.

And how do you put them back on after the adhesive is ruined? Or is it reuseable? I will have to do this also, but mine are new and don't have 78k on them like the stock ones.

peel off all the old crap from the emblem and fender (since its only a small area roll it off w/ your thumb and use goo gone)... clean both the fender and emblem verywell with a small ammount of rubbing alchohol and a clean lotion free paper towel and re install using 3M double sided tape... you can pick it up at any auto paint store
