I've not looked at one up close, but to get the emblems off of my car, dental floss worked like a champ. Fishing line would work too.

heat it up and peel it off. When I bought my truck the dealer put the same kind of badge on my truck and it peeled right off and was still good. I would think it should work for the LOB Badge too

Heat it up with a hairdryer...then take some fishing line and run it back and forth behind the badge..after you get enough off..you can just peel it off, just becareful not to break it in half

When you do this wear gloves or something to protect your hands. It hurts if you dont

The badge isn't a hard plastic or metal, Just FYI It is kind of like the domed decals that fill in the letters on the back bumpers and panels on our cars

Heat it up a bit and use some floss or fishing string/wire to work your way behind it. Just simply floss behind it, don't attempt to peel/bend it off as you do. I've heard that those LOTB badges can separate or break upon removal. So just floss behind it, let it fall off into your hands as you finish, clean up the back, and you're ready to go.

Yes, the adhesive should lift off relatively easily, but use the aforementioned techniques. I just relocated one of the small ones from one area to another w/no issues.
