A bit of heat from a hair dryer would probably help too. Direct the air down the headtube with the fork removed to heat the back side of the emblem....Good luck!



*And wear safety goggles in case the wire snaps! Safety first....
A more accessible option for some people (at least, me) might be fishing line... same principle, though.
