You have to remove the airbag off the steering wheel. On both sides of the wheel, there are 2 paper clip-sized holes that you have to stick something in and press simultaneously, then the airbag cover comes off, and then you take the airbag out and the emblem is held on by a bolt or something similar.

There's a few others here who have done the process that could elaborate better.

Don't try and put it back in with the clips you could damage the airbag as it is right under that badge. I hope by prying it off you didn't damage the bag already. The problem with glueing it on, is that those pins are there for a reason. If you ever get in an accident and deploy the airbag the badge will come flying off an lodge in your face. The clips are there to hold it to the caseing so it does not come off during deployment.

Wow man thats pretty shifty... Patience is a virtue... Should have googled it before you started prying it off. Just my .2 cents...
