Removing & reapplying emblems?

[ToyotaFreak]

3 -4 months back, my dad sent his car to the shop for a full repaint. When he got the car back, he didn't realize that the rear emblems were in the wrong place, till I flew back and noticed it. I was just wondering if it will be safe to remove and reapply them to the correct areas (When I'm back in 2-3 months.). Just don't want the paint to be ruined or anything like that.

Also, as we live in an apartment, a heatgun/ hairdrier is out. Would hot boiling water be good enough to soften the adhesive before flossing them off?

Picture below for reference. 'G' emblem was misplaced to the right (Red line), while the 'L' emblem was misplaced to the left (Yellow line)

Have you tried taking it back to place that did the re-paint to have them rectify the problem?

Thanks. I guess I should be able to find prepsol or the local equivalent there. Do we soak the adhesive between the emblem & body with prepsol for removal?

I did suggest that, but my parents were quite busy and in a rush at the time. So thought I might try fixing that myself when I'm back.
