Hi Terry - one way to do it, is to tap the pins from the back side with a small hammer. That way you drive the pin itself. Weas and I were at a salvage yard not long ago and he pulled a few off from the front by prying them with a screwdriver but you're right, this can be risky. Weas, if you're here, perhaps you can post the exact location on the script where the pins are. When I removed the "Corsair deluxe" script from my Henry J a few years ago, I just took the front wheel off, and tapped on the pins from the backside and they came right off. If you do that, I'd recommend doing it evenly; in other words, tap the front one out a ways and then tap the back one out a ways and alternate back and forth till you get it off. As I'm sure you're aware, pot metal does not bend so doing it this way works well but I do know when Weas pulled some off those parts cars, that had been sitting outside for 30+ years, he pryed them from the outside and they came off in one piece just fine. But... it's really a plus if you know where on the script the pins are located so you can pry there.
