You won't remove the chrome ring - you just need to use a dull knife or thin flathead screwdriver to pry the emblem out of the chrome ring. If you are worried about scratching the chrome, put a thin rag between it and whatever you are using to pry it out.

Where can you get emblems in Toronto? The Canadian websites don't seem to carry, and one even shows a Chevy Tahoo emblem when you put in al the info for your bmer, so it didn't inspire much confidence, lol.

Just scored one on eBay. Here's a great vid for getting the old one off, if you're like me and just have to do it 'right.'
