You turn the clip underneath 90 degrees and it should release.

With a pair of pliers or pipegrips, grip the cap under the spring and pull down against the spring pressure (quite strong), turn anti-clockwise about 90 degrees and it should lock-in to a pair of grooves which will hold it there. Lift out the badge from the top. Replacement is simple reversal.
