Consider a person who has very very little technical ability. Id love to detagg my rear, and add a black Z on the front and back.

Not hard, note I actually let gurneyeagle do it since he has done it before.
His steps were, heat up the old emblems with a hair dryer, slowly start getting underneath them to loosen the glue or whatever is used. Peel them off, then start to get all the extra glue off the bumper down to what you can fairly easily. Then he started to use something (will let him answer this part) to wipe it down and get all the last bits of glue left and clean the bumper.

After that line up the new emblems and stick them on. All in all it took us maybe a little over an hour to do both front & rear.

Some fishing line helped on mine. Goo gone helped with the adhesive.

Yes that, I swear Nissan must have been dipping these cars in adhesive from the shift knobs to the emblems.
My front emblem was factory installed versus my rear which the dealership did after someone hit me. The amount of tape/glue difference was massive, the rear came off fairly easily while the front had sooo much extra.
