Others will use some fishing line and "saw" the area between the emblem and the tank. After it's off you can spray some WD40 or a de-gummer of some kind to clean it up. Doesn't take much.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/23 20:44 By PapaTom.   FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #239559 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid.

A woman's hair dryer won't get too hot, no matter how long you hold it there. It took about 4-5 minutes of heating before mine came loose.

Just make sure you wash and wax the tank when your done. Also for the stubborn areas instead of using your finger nail (which you will feel for days) I have used a popsicle stick. I keep a bundle of them in my tool box b/c they come in handy for all sorts of things...mixing epoxies, spreading grease on things, etc. Good Luck!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #239573 Old Retired Cop (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 162 Re:roadstar logo 2 Years, 6 Months ago   When I took mine off, I used a length of heavy (80 lb. test) fishing line with a short wooden dowel tied to each end for handles. It worked great....just heat up the logo with a hair dryer, then put the fishing line behind it and pull back and forth gently to cut through the "gum". It takes awhile, but saves your fingernails. Be sure to keep the line away from the paint, and you won't have any problems.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #239638 glassman66 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 69 Re:roadstar logo 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Just did mine last week I used a heat gunand a old credit card and they pealed off. The 3m double stick tape sucks though. Googone worked the best that and time and destroying my finger tips.   Logged     2007 Midnight \"The Big Black Bitch\"[img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #239653 paramedicp (User) As everyone runs out, we run in.
