Default Heres a new one...
81 center hub cap. I have an extra cap with emblem and I want to take the emblem off the cap without breaking it. I know most people try to keep these on, but I need it off.
Have tried hot water and no luck varsol no luck I need the emblem in one peace.

Have you looked on the inside of the hub. Some hubs have holes that the badge or emblem snap into. Push from inside.
