The hood and trunk have to be pried off, you might be able to use fishing line like someone else suggested but something tells me that's not going to work like it does for debadging. You basically have to use something like a screwdriver. Obviously you're going to want to have some type of cloth in between the screwdriver and the paint, and if possible use a plastic screwdriver/wedge.
The wheels are easy, you just take off the wheel and then push the emblem out through the inside of the rim.
And the steering wheel you pretty much have to take apart the airbag. I asked the dealer if they could replace my steering wheel emblem because it has a little dent in it, and they told me they would have to take it apart to do it. Then they said I'd have to pay for it, and I just said no thanks I'll live with it.
