as per the title. I'm replacing the front fender on my truck. Can I reuse it, or do I need to replace it? Thanks

If you can get it off? It is possible. You would have to pull the old double sided tape off and then go buy new double sided tape.
There are a couple of clips on the fender well side that need some persuasion. Bunch of instructions on the tube.

I've taken the tank badge off my motorcycle, does that qualify me as experience?

It's not rocket science. But it does take some patience.

Yes, the 3M tape does the trick.

I just fixed a sign with some lettering falling off with some of that tape a few weeks ago -- no different than your truck emblem.

Hardest part was trying to get the old tape off without destroying the letters...

Let the truck bake in the sun, use a hairdryer OR a heat gun (but seriously be careful). Get yourself a good plastic pry tool and gently work your way around the emblem.

It take some time. I like to use 3M adhesive remover to clean up the remanants from the fender, DON'T use on the emblem.

I've pulled mine to paint them, it's doable.
