I was told it's really a trick to remove a vintage badge and replace it so it looks like a true factory install. Can anyone give me any tips on what the procedure is? do you need a speical tool? or ??
Removing factory badge

Grommet badge? If so, what I've done is use a dremmel, or drill mounted conical grinder. Carefully grind from inside shell until inner collar comes away. Carefully extract rest of grommet from front, (this can be tricky if tight) and you can often replace the original - maybe get replacement inner collar. Believe there have been other threads on this technique.

In the resto topics, there is a play by play video from poppy#`s that takes you through the process !! The hard part is getting a factory gromett !! Most will round over different on the inside than the outside deliberately. He made the video when he was rewrap`n a mod orange kit !! It`s the most clear and understandable one I`ve seen here !!

DaddyNowhere has described the best way to do this, it's easy. If it's a rewrap or a refinish, why bother with the inner lip ? It will have no added value to a reworked drum. Once the inner lip is ground away, you can push the grommet out the front w/ an old drumstick. Do not pry it out. . Simply replace it later w/ a little glue on the stem of the grommet.
Guess what, I checked it has no inner lip
Just went to try to push it out, its not going anywhere, I even had a punch that was perfect size, just a little larger, I thought for sure it would push out, all I ended up doing was pushing the press right through the hole, this is going to be a mess I can see it coming.
