Remove the end caps first, they are just glued on as well.

Re: ok so i've never removed handgrips before, how Reply #4 - 06/13/08 at 07:10:36 I am getting tired of these grips & am about ready to give it a whirl. When I do, I hope using the airhose & the smallest nozzled blowgun I have will puff air under & let it slip off. If not, Ill have to get physical widdittt.

Here's a trick that has worked for me in the past:

Get you a can of contact cleaner with a little straw on the nozzle. Work a skinny screwdriver blade under the grip. Lever the screwdriver blade up a bit and shove the straw for the contact cleaner into the gap you've just made. Blast a spurt of contact cleaner in there. Move the screwdriver blade a bit and repeat until you can twist the grip loose.

IHTH someone!
