Title: How do you remove the grips?
Post by JIMBO on 08/07/13 at 16:41:26

Yes... I'm a newbie. That's out of the way now, so any help would be appreciated. I have an owner's manual and a service manual, but they weren't any help. Is there a trick to it? I have a 95 Savage.

PULLLLL!!!!!!!!... ;D...

Almost literally,.. The end caps are just glued straight in... pry them off,... then dribble a little rubbing alcohol under the grips and they'll slip right off..
;)...

Thanks. That just seemed to obvious and I was worried about damaging the throttle sleeve.

Even if you damage it (easy to do, cheap plastic) it can normally be fixed easily.

I use method#1 x3
and you don't need to make a tool, you already have them...
they're called phillips screwdrivers.

jamb one in work it around as shown
now jamb 2 more in spaced around the grip
grab the whole thing and twist it off.

Has anyone told you about the secret glue to use on your next set of grips? :D
