I agree with El Presidenty but if the stickers have been on a while they go hard and are difficult to peel, they keep breaking up into tiny pieces (speaking from experience here).  Suggest you paint white spirit round the edge with (say) a size 3 paintbrush, wait a couple of minutes for it to work on the glue near the edge, then slowly peel away whilst applying more white spirit with the brush as you go, then once the sticker is off finish off any residue with white spirit and a tissue.
