BT,I've never had too many problems heating them up with a heat gun or hair dryer, then using compressed air to lift them while working them off.

a razor blade works well unless your planning on using them again

Using compressed air is the way to fly unless you glued them on.

Razor blade to remove, steal your girls hair spray to install,
just remember to return it!

+1 on the hairspray for the install. Lubricates while wet; sticks when dry. Just what you need.

Thanks I got em on : )
Used laquer inside the grips n on the bar with a ziptye to help slide em on. Works good as lube/glue.
