They all have "locator" pins on the back of them with the exception of the RX8 badge.

Use a hairdryer to warm the area and use fishing line or tooth floss to gently remove.

Don't worry too much about breaking the locating posts since they're useless anyway.

if you break the posts, dont worry, use hot glue to re-attach back onto the bar/boot lid.

The posts are only purely to locate the emblems to ensure that they are put on straight.

If it's a concern to you, then just go to a dealer and buy new emblems and paint those instead.
