I used a gear wrench to to do mine. 3/8". Took forever to ratchet them out of there. Man, it is a pain and very tight in there, but I was able to do it.

Re: 70 chevy fender badge removal?

It's easy. All you have to do is take off the hood, then the cowl, and half of the inner fender bolts. Then you can remove the three bolts holding the back of the fender enough to scrape your fingers getting to the push-nuts. About this time, I have a strong urge to find the engineer who designed this setup and get violent.......
