    I used a hair dryer to warm up the glue and lightly scraped them off with a plastic scraper. Then a little Glue be Gone or a dab of Mineral Spirits to clean the rest of the glue off. Not saying this is the best procedure, but it word for me,. Good Luck, ....Bill...

    For removing the wheel weights on my older STS,
    I've used heat and a plastic scraper.
    Then final clean-up with Goo Gone.

    I used Naptha, a very gentle solvent, and a plastic scraper. Coleman fuel is pretty much the same as Naptha, with added rust inhibitors. Kerosene will also be gentle. It came off and I was done in under a minute.
