Default 1979 emblem removal

Trying to figure out how to remove the metal emblems on left and right side of my 79, they are the flags are the rear part of the front fender right in front of the door. Seems like there is some fasteners on the back and very hard to get to. Any tricks that would help? appreciate any guidance.

Depending on model year, there may not be speed nuts on the back side of the emblem. Raise the hood and see if you can see speed nuts.

Most of these are held on with emblem tape.

Thank you I found no speed nuts, it was stuck on with adhesive. I used a putty knife to pull the emblems off. Where can I get the proper adhesive to reinstall emblems once we paint the car. thanks again
