No need to remove the whole grille. When I replaced my emblems, I used some dental floss (fishing line would also work) at the ends of the emblem to cut through as much of the mounting tape as I could, to start. At the center of the bottom edge of the emblem there is a tiny hole. With a thin screwdriver, I was able to pry around the edge of the emblem, starting at the little hole. Be firm, but not aggressive, and work your way around, prying the emblem off. Eventually, the friction nut on the back of the mounting post will pop off (I could hear it rattle when it came off), and the emblem will be free. Clean up the adhesive residue with Goo Gone. I replaced both front and rear emblems in about 30 minutes.
