Don't!
It is held on by little plastic doo dads that go on small studs made on to the back of the emblem. Once you pull the emblem off the plastic deals are shot, I have never seen new ones. I made the mistake of attempting to push it back on with the plastic things still in the body panel where they tend to stay.
The studs pushed them inside the nose, never seen again.
All the little plastic things I have seen are brittle and very difficult to get out of the nose.

The answer is just pull it off, use a puddy knife wrapped in tape to get it started.

Is it magic ? Do you need your foil hat on?

What gives? Can't figure out how to get in off without damaging the bus.
