Yeah, it isn't easy. Patience is key. Heat, pull, heat, pull. They'll tear, unfortunately.

Most are not doing that?
There seems to be no alternative

1. Hairdryer - gently pre-heat entire decal then slowly peel back while still applying heat
2. Goo-Gone - to remove residual adhesive
3. Simple Green - to remove Goo-Gone and any chain lube or road grime

Doing this I was able to remove and replace the decals on my 808/Super 9 set in about an hour
