heat them up with hot water/hairdryer
then peel them off. or use fishing line behint badges
if your lucky it will bring most the glue off.
if not use wd40 or something to take the black glue off.
search in diy guides for it in more detail. think i did it ages ago.

Heating them up helps, but is not essential.
They're stuck on with sticky foam, so just cut it off with a guitar string/fishing wire.
Then use some WD40 or a cleaning product of your choice (AG intense bug remover is good) to get the residue off.

If it's anything like the 6n2 (pretty sure it's very close), just gently unclip all the plastic tabs aroud the edge, then flip off the metal clip on the underside.

not sure on the 6N in terms of clips, there's an indent though, so you'd have to get that smoothed out.

The 6N has two small sections that clip into the boot as well as the glue foam. I just gave mine a tug.. all the glue stayed on the badge. Though mine is currenly super glued on now that its black.
