easy peasy, get your blow dryer or heat gun, keep it a few inches from the emblem about 5-6 inches, put on low heat point at emblem for about a minute or two to loosen the binding adhesive (3m double sided tape) on the factory emblem, then take some fishing string or dental floss and see-saw your way through underneath the factory emblem, use goo gone or a detail spray with a microfiber clothe to remove the residual sticky adhesive, clean the area thoroughly after all residue has been removed, then apply new emblem, for extra protection tape around the factory emblem with some painters tape or masking tape to prevent any scratches around the area when removing. (this is the exact method I used, may seem like overkill for an emblem swap, but i have OCD about these kinda things)

I would not use a screw driver, my hands are not steady enough to put hard metal that close to my paint, maybe a plastic pryer, but the string method would be my first choice.
