i used a hair dryer and fishing string. Didnt attempt to pull with my fingers either until i loosened up the center. once i was able to get enough space between the trunk and the locating pins, i slid the string between it so that i could seperate the center of the bowtie from the trunk. after i did both sides and the center, it just popped off with ease. Once its off, clean the area very well, use some alcohol to take off whatever is left of the old 3M tape, apply the new 3M tape to the back of the bowtie, and stick it back on.
One other note, before i pulled off the bowtie, i used masking tape so that i would have a reference of where it was originally placed, its also good for determining if its level or not. you dont want to put it back on crooked or slanted!
