Oh, well.... Looks like your having fun!!

Well, I'll tell you anyway.....the hammer and punch was used to separate the emblem from the door. The string only work so far....then I had to resort to a more persuasive manner for removal. Holding the fuel door with my left hand, and against the emblem in the upright position, I used the punch and the mini sledge to whack the studs and what was left of the one stud, to have the emblem come apart from the door. This is not for the faint of heart......
That mini sledge is one of the best tools I have ever purchased. It has helped me numerous times for years, believe me when I tell you.

I think I have some of both, but since retirement a few weeks ago, its tough to schedule finishing the job........lol
I am concerned about getting anything on the paint, but I imagine I will be ok, hope to get done by the weekend, that's if my "busy" retirement schedule allows........lol
