There is no easy way. They are double sided taped. The nose you run the risk of peeling the back off and it will take the color off with it. The rear you can put masking tape around it to protect the body and us a small putty knife and get behind it and use it to cut the tape from the emblem. Then clean the rest off the body by rubbing it with a finger and softening it with alcohol or thinner.

    I've always used dental floss on a hot day. Works for most emblems and taped on body mouldings.
