Emblem removal

Post by brute66 »

I was curious if the '65/'66 fender emblems can be removed without taking off the fenders. I stuck my hand up there and I can feel two mounting pins protruding but I'm not sure what kind of fastener is used to attach these with. I can't detect any nuts holding these things on. Apologize for my ignorance on this, just thought I'd refer to experts out there, thanks!

I just pried mine off on my 66. They snap into some kind of bushing in the holes. Not sure what the bushings are made of but I need to get some new one. Take your time and work them off evenly.

The have little metal barrel nut holding them in. They just pull out a putty knife works good to get them off.

They are retained by tube clips which are inserted into the sheet metal. Usually they will stay in place and can be re-used. replacements are available from fastener suppliers; they will need to know the stud size as well as hole size.
