G'Day, I asked this question awhile back and didn't get a clear answer. I believe the radiator cloisonnes are a press fit......male part of cloisonne pressed into female part of radiator shell. I'm looking for a way of removing the cloisonne without damaging it. I've considered applying generous amounts of penetrating oil and tapping it out with a similar sized socket. Has anyone come up with a better way...?... I would like to find a way of pressing it out, but can't currently formulate a plan to do that. Thanks for Your time and attention......Joe......

@sanderson Joe, Can you bridge over the emblem with some wood blocks and then use a C-clamp to gently push the emblem out? It might be better than using a hammer. You could "custom cut" some wood to hug the emblem but let it exit the shell.

That sounds like a very good idea. I believe I have wood clamps that hopefully will be a suitable size to pull it off. Much appreciated. .......Joe.......
