Removing 500 tank badges

(1/3) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've done a search but failed to find the answer. U-tube shows this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdIWbR_MHVI

Is this a reliable method - I seem to remember reading something about using thin wire or fishing line?

Laverdaroo:
Nylon fishing line Ted, I dont know if you need to warm the badges slightlywith a hair drier or similar, first, cheese wire them off with some reasonably good fishing line in a sawing motion.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Are they stuck on as well or is it just two badge  bushes that the lugs push fit into?

K2-K6:
Use reference "3M VHB" Ted, that's if they are stuck on too.

That gives advice on removal by gentle heating etc to get them to detach.

VHB is very high bond and familiar to most in use on car number plate sticky patches as it develops a long lasting adherance when deployed. 

Can be bought in various thickness to re site them after paint.

Bryanj:
From honda they have two pins pushed into expensive clips, if pins broken frequently stuck on
