To take off the old ones- just slice them with razor blade.
To put the new ones- the best way is to use a compressed air. If not- soapy water will do. Just don't use oil  because later the new grips might keep rotating.

Changing out the 1" grips on a Savage is a piece of cake. Tap the chrome end caps off with a screwdriver. Throw them away. Slice off the left rubber grip, and throw it away. You may need to reuse the chrome collar, if not, slide it off and throw it away.  Remove the screw from the throttle cable. Remove the two screws from the switch housing and seperate the halves. Twist the throttle grip until you can unhook the cable. Slice off the rubber as before. Spray the inside of your new grips with hairspray or WD40, they will both set up rock hard when they dry. I prefer WD40, have been using it for years as grip lube/cement.

With the new grips in place, attach the throttle cable. Reinstall the screws. Gas up bike. Go for test ride, come home and kick yourself for putting those awful, too fat grips on your bike.

what exactly is the part number of the kuryakyn iso-grips?

Here is mine:



You can see the fuel tank indenture too...  

You probably got some glue where you shouldn't have.  You might try removing the end cap of your grip and see if you can't work a thin knife or something around the edges and see if you can't get the grip loosened up.

My 86 came with that dent when I bought it last month - I thought it was a standard feature.
