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.
