If so, the same exact procedure.

Yeah except mine were the white ones that came pre-loosened from the factory, so when I went for some motorbike action the grip slipped off and I busted it big time.

Oh yeah, you can get grips off easily by squirting some compressed air under them. Breaks the bond in no time.
