i am trying to get the emblem off of my STX grille, but it won't come off no matter what i do... here's pics of both sides...

i tried pulling the emblem, i tried pushing on the posts on the back, i tried prying up the tabs, and pushing... nothing...

 

light the whole thing on fire

 

I had to use a heat gun on mine to remove it. Just be careful, you don't want to get it too hot and melt anything!

 

to get it off of the actual grill?

i bought a blowdrier today so i can get the gel off of the actual emblem, but i don't want to work on this with my whole grill in my kitchen...

 

On one side of the of "posts" on the back of the emblem it has a flat side that gets caught on the grille. You have to push it away from the little "tooth" of a flat spot, while prying up on the plastic tab of the grille, and pushing out at the same time. It's a real PITA. I didn't notice it the first time I tried to get mine off, but you gotta look real close. Hope I made sense and this helps you get if off.

 

not at all

 

Haha, yea, I was typing fast and not thinking. The post on the back of the emblem is round. Where it is locked onto the grille, with the U shaped tab on the grille, on opposite side of the post is an indentation that is locked onto the grille itself. So when you are prying up on the tab, you have the push the post towards the tab and push the emblem away from the grille. If you don't push the post away from the indentation part, it will get caught on the grille and you won't be able to push the emblem away from the grille. If need be, I can find my spare emblem and take a picture of the back of it. Hard to describe without pictures, haha.

 

Here ya go, haha, sorry I suck at photo editing.

 

just be smarter then the grill

 

What RLong31 said.
Just another way the BIG # are trying to save money.

If you don’t wan tot do it you can send it to me, LoL…

luck

 

that's hard to do... i mean, you and i are just simple folk from farm towns in the 'billies...
lol


so ok, pry the black tabs back, push the "chrome" posts, towards the tabs i just pried up, and push out at the same time?

 

This really isn't this hard. Put a screw driver under the black piece, pull up and push the studs down. That simple

 

Yes, exactly, lol

 

Pickup easy, not too much pressure.

 

Dude, it's an emblem, not a university calculus problem....LOL

 

so a^2*b^2=c^2 isn't going to help me?
