I really like the idea of using the heat gun on the back side as it eliminates the possibility of harming the paint on the outside. Great video.

Thanks for the idea to just go ahead and cut the nubs off since I was replacing it. Way, way easier then trying to fight them out. Got it when I saw your broke off one. Two clips with he end cutters and popped right out.

A tab busted off the new one, be careful pushing on those clips... I resorted to the 3M tape on back, worked fine.

About to attempt this myself since all the replacement grilles I've found don't include the emblem (not complaining) just don't want a new grille with an old emblem plus black will look nice. Now I need to find how to swap the tailgate emblem as well .

Thanks for this, it's good to know how to change these faded badges out. Speaking of 'faded' are those headlight of your's starting to fade too? It looks like there in your video. That 's not difficult to clear up either! As you well know!

I can't stress how much easier it is to just get rid of the posts. I fought tooth and nail trying to get that emblem to come out, got so frustrated I just took a pair of pliers to the outside posts (didn't worry about the middle one) and broke them off as close as I could to the base. Emblem practically fell out after that. My new emblem has double-sided tape and fits really snug into the old emblems place... so much so that one of the flex tabs won't sit level but also isn't in danger of breaking. I didn't bother putting the retention nuts back on because I don't think they did much to begin with. If anyone reads this and you want to keep you stock emblem to maybe return it to stock, do yourself a favor and just buy a stock emblem replacement. It's truly not worth fighting the emblem with the posts still intact.
