  1. Thanks to everyone for the help!! Everything worked perfectly! I took everyone's suggestions into account before starting. Started with a shot of PB blaster and let that sit for about 30 minutes. I used a 1/32 nail set which had a point that fit the holes in the center of the stud perfectly. I had supported the glove box door between 2 scrap 2x4's so that the emblem was not resting on the table. I "lightly" tapped the first stud and it popped through on the second tap. Same process for the rest with the same result. It seemed to take very little pressure. The whole thing was done in less than a minute with excellent results. I had assumed that the emblem studs had been pushed into some type of barrel fastener as others above have noted, and to me the barrel looked to be brass . However, after removal it seems to be all one piece, not sure maybe its really tight to the stud but I tried a pair of needle nose but the brass barrel(??) wouldn't budge. I decided not to press my luck. After I restore the glove box door It looks like it will push back on. Thanks again for the help, much appreciated.
  2. Does anyone have any ideas, tips, tricks, etc. for removing these emblems? I have included a photo. This is from the glove box on my 1940 Dodge D17. I am restoring the front grain pattern and need to temporarily remove the emblem for restoration. Looks like a metal stud and not a rivet. Maybe pressed on?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Dean
