Help replacing the hood emblem...

I brought the flat Carlsson emblem. I'm trying to get the old one off. I can't twist it at all. There is a plastic piece that holds the old one. My car is 2003 c203k. I called the dealer...dealer told me that I have to break the plastic pieces off. Any help...pls???

Thanks!
Andy

used a bigger plier, get a good hold on the buttom part and twist clockwise (or was it counter clockwise, I forgot)

you don't have to "break" anything and the guy who talked to you is a dumbass.

FrankW is correct, just a simple twist.

I just replaced mine last week..
pop up the hood, use a plier to hold the bottom of the upstand star, then twist counterclockwise for 90-degree it should come off ..

it's also very easy to put on the flat one..:
good luck
