    Warm em up with a hair dryer

    And then use acetone (most nail varnish removers) to remove any residue and clean it up for the new stickers.

    …and when you put them on use a weak solution of washing up liquid. It allows you to move the sticker about and put it EXACTLY where you want it – then allow to dry. Got that tip from a mate who did it for a living before anyone questions it !

    You will need:

    -1 chisel
    -a 500ml bottle of your own urine
    -a copy of the Sunday times
    -some wire wool
    -a 5lb lump hammer
    -2 bungee cords
    -a dremel

    Use the listed items in whatever fashion you like to try and remove the stickers then prepare a “Whoops I’ve buggered my expensive wheelset” post…

    WD40 removes and softens the stickiness

    White spirit or lighter fluid.
    This lifts the glue from the previous sticker.
    Job done.
