When replacing an emblem/nameplate do the following:

2. Use tape for alignment marks for installation of the emblem/nameplate.
To remove an emblem/nameplate, heat the emblem/nameplate using a J 25070.
Apply the heat using a circular motion for about 30 seconds holding the J 25070 approximately 152 mm (6 in) from the surface.
Use a plastic, flat-bladed tool to remove the emblem/nameplate from the panel surface.

- For body panels use a 3M™: Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disk 3M™: P/N 07501 or equivalent.
- For plastic panels use a lint free cloth and Varnish Makers and Painters (VMP) naptha or a 50/50 mixture by volume of isopropyl alcohol and water to remove the adhesive.
