Yamaha emblems from alfitz

[PMD Power]

How hard is it to change these out? I have these on order and I want to be sure I can do this without totally messing up the casing ...

Thanks!

Very easy. Either remove the entire emblem from the car (chrome trim and all) or leave it on and remove it.. ..either way, just heat up the eblem to soften the glue, use a small flathead screw driver, jewelers size and carefully pry it out. Very simple task.

Cool... so are the emblems taped on the car os rivited on? if it is rivited I will just leave the on and pry out the old insert you make it sould painless enough.. I just gotta be sure I have a very small screw driver

The emblems are held in place by an adhesive on the back of the chrome shell. The emblem is held into the chrome shell by an adhesive also.

sounds easy enough... one more thing... what would be good to use to heat it up?

 

[RI-SHO]

Heat gun would be good, but if you wanted to just play it safe use a hair dryer.

Yes, and be careful with a screwdriver or whatever near the paint. If you're removing the entire badge you should probably put a little masking tape or something to lessen the scratch factor. Or just pry the Ford out of the chrome oval while it's on the car.

ok didnt want to start a new thread but i have just the clear/blue part of the ford emblem off and left the chrome ring...what is tha best adhesive to stick the piece back into the chrome housing?

 

[Calypso]

I used some 3M adhesive meant for automotive trim and emblems. Worked fine for me.

Al Fitz's emblems do not already have a sticky backing? William Lewis' have an adhesive on the back already.

Mine from Al Fitz did have the adhesive backing. I think the previous poster was maybe talking about re-sticking the Ford emblem back on.

yes mine fell off somehow and i was wondering what that goop was that once held it on on the back of it.
