on my 07 sg it was a double sided tape they used. We were able to get them both off with a plastic scraper (that had no sharp edges), without braking them. My buddy broke one of his on his 05. Take caution if you dont want to break them. I decided to leave mine off as I didnt want to take away from the custom paint.

Fishing line will do the trick to get the badge off...then you'll have to clean the adhesive off and reapply new doublesided when you reinstall.

Lots of threads about doing this, so try Search. Seem to recall using a hair-drier to soften the adhesive also works, but there are several ways yhou can choose from.
