To get my original "Powered by Ford" emblem loose I used a plastic tool used for removing body emblems and molding pieces. I had to work one side and then move to the other side many times to get the pins to let go.
As JTpantera said, "Time can strengthen relationships" and mine had a very strong bond. I ended up getting it to finally let loose with time, patience, and perseverance.
Good luck.
