Heat gun/hair dryer. Small string such as fishing line or Dental Floss. Heat up the emblem slowly. THen you gut you a piece of string. Wrap it around your fingers like you were flossing your teath. THen Saw back and forth with the string behind the emblem. You probally will have some residue left. Might be able to get some off with your finger. Rubbing it back and forth you should be able to get some of it to ball off and pull of the glue. then som goo gone or some other addhesive remover to finish it.

Fishing line and a hairdryer for me. Just be careful with the front one. The plastic is very soft and can scratch up easily when removing any excess adhesive.

Also, there will be a little plastic tab on the front one that you will have to remove before you can put an SS on, which is what I assume you're going to do.
