They are very hard to get off.   I made a 2 pronged tool to get under both sides so that you can pull evenly and twist them off.  If the legs on the badge have started to corrode, it's almost odds on that you will brake them off.  The worst thing you can do is stick a screwdriver under one side and pry it up as this puts a side load on the leg and increases the likelihood that it will break.  Twisting the clip is the best to try and get it to undo like a nut.
