Slide a thin screwdrive up it & squirt WD40 up it with the straw/tube it comes with, then work it round with the screwdriver & pull :wink:

And when you want to put it back on, use brake cleaner, that will lube it for a few seconds, then evaporate, so you don't have a 'slippy' grip. :D

The other trade trick when refixing is to spray the handlebar with ladies hair spray this will dry out and acts as an adhesive.
Now where did I leave my Keys!

Rags wrapped round the grips and soaked in boiling water works as well!!!
