Default Nose Ford emblem removal

Does anyone know how to remove this? It feels like there are the those press on nuts on the back side, but I can get a socket on it to save my life. I'm thinking about just drilling out the posts from the front and then just putting the new one on. Anyone done this before?

+1 on the socket and you'll need Jethro arms to reach under the bumper and go up.

Do you remember what size the nuts were? Were they metric? I had ordiginally tried standard size and the things wouldn't bite for some reason. Not to mention I wasn't all that jazzed about raking my knuckles across the a/c condenser. I'll have to try it from underneath, I was going right through the grill.

Jethro arms, WTF. [sm=smiley36.gif]

I think it was metric 10mm? I was talking long arms.
