On my bike the sticker on the pipe has become worn n looks a bit shite...

I have ordered a replacement heatproof sticker for it and just wondering how I would go about removing the other sticker off properly and applying the new one....

Any help much appreciated...

I have replaced the sticker on my Akra can twice, I used boiling water to melt the glue, (just pour it over the sticker) This should soften it up then you should be able to peel it off I then used petrol to clear the remaining glue from the can and put the new one on.

Well when you have a chunk taken out of your sticker and it is one of the few blemishes on a nearly mint bike spending a fiver and a few minutes to sort that ain't reall alot is it?

Why to you disagree?
