John,
in reverse order,
2, Dunk 'em in warm water & then just slide 'em on
The water will dry out in no time, don't use oil, grease or spray lube
1, To remove old ones (as long as they ain't glued on), carefully use a flat blade screwdriver & work it in and around until all way down. Whilst doing this a spray of WD40 or Duckoil (other lubrication brands are available
) will ease the operation

Grips are on nice n tight, used soaking in water method as Pigford suggested rather than the hairdressers option!
Old ones were glued on so had to cut em off.
