I think there are two screws holding that emblem on. The screws are accessed from the backside of that center grill bar, but you may need to remove the bumper to get at them.

I had to remove this to paint my emblems...you have to diassemble the whole center part of the grill, then you will find the screws that come in from the back of the emblem and hold it in.

Just a matter of finding all of the screws....you will have to take off a little of the plastic engine cover pieces to get to the proper screws.

Many other emblems are of course mounted with two-sided tape. I remove those by using mineral spirits to weaken the adhesive (first testing on an inconspicuous spot), then using the old "dental floss saw" technique.

I was able to use a heat gun then just pull of the emblems myself (easy as pie!)

Heat guns can vary in temps from 200 degF up to 1300degF or more! in the hands of a novice, i smell melted paint. Just thought the floss approach is cheapest and most accessible for the majority of folks. Heat can remove a lot - just make sure y'all know what you are doing. Cheers.
