Lots of previous discussions about it. I started with a heat gun and plastic scraper. Worked ok on some of the decals. Not so well on others. Bought a 3M eraser wheel. Worked much better. Another good thing about the eraser wheel is that a lot of the adhesive comes off with the decal as it flakes off. Whereas the heat gun and scraper left most of the adhesive. But there is still quite a bit left even with the wheel. You do need a good drill as the wheel works it pretty hard.

I used about half a quart can of 3M adhesive remover to get the left over adhesive from the front and rear caps. I held an old towel below a section of adhesive, spread a stream of remover across and above that adhesive, let it "sheet" down over the adhesive, and soak into the towel below. Then putting more remover on the towel I would wipe the adhesive off. The wetter the towel the adhesive will basically melt and soak into the towel.
