Push the square cut end of the wood against the "a" in Leica. Push hard at an angle as if you are trying to slide the red dot to the side. Which is exactly what you are trying to do. This breaks the glue grip, the dot starts to move, and you keep pushing until it finally lets go enough so you can peel it off. If you slip, the wood will not hurt your camera. You also haven't hurt the logo. The glue stays with the red dot. You can replace it when finished doing whatever you wanted to do. Jim
