Does anyone know how to remove the steering wheel emblem, I'll like to paint mine to match the front and rear emblems

The emblem has plastic tabs that are melted to mount it to the steering wheel, so removing it requires breaking them and remounting it will then require glue.

thanks, painted it flat black to match exterior emblems, looks much better compared to the bloody chrome manufactures always use.
P.S. whats with the killer snow plow hatch in your signature

HA, that's Crashy. CTScott knows ALL about the Yaris, and Crashy is his test mule. There's a video on here somewhere of him clearing the snow in his driveway.
