Removing Grips Without Destroying Them

I am building up my bareknuckle brakeless and I need to remove the brake lever

To do this I have to get my BIG CHEESE grips off without destroying them

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Heat.

high pressure air hose to the inside of grips and pull like Geoff Capes

screw driver + some wd40.

Removing grips is alot like making love

Wiggle the tool round the bars after each squirt, then push it in a little more wiggle around abit. Removed loads of grips with a squirt and a wriggle.

blunt knife or summin like that, wiggle it in a little bit n squirt hairspray in, wiggle a bit more, spray more etc etc. Come off really easy like that.

yeah alot like making love...

...all about the 'wiggle' in both fields!!

TheBrick(Tommy) screw driver + some wd40.

you made me giggle & blush... ;)

ta, sounds like a winner that one

you need to be gentle but yet firm.

lol so much innuendo here, I get the straw that comes with WD40 lube it up stick it in as far as it will go, squirt squirt, do the same round the other side and twist around, off it should come - you just need to clean the grips thorough afterwards :)

its only my first time Tommy

Ride round in the rain for 5 hours, then use both hands with a firm yet gentle grip to pull and twist.

Howabout dip the grip/bar in really hot water for a while, then see if you can peel it off?

the short scewdriver ain't doing nothing

do you think I need a longer one..?

Hair-dryer on hot for a couple of minutes on the grips. The rubber gets soft, the metal doesn't, remove grips. That's science in action.

Tommy that worked a treat, long screwdriver , plenty of lube, wiggle squirt, wiggle squirt

at one point I had four fingers in there ...!!!! came off a treat

sorry 606 I got a buzzcut so I don't even have a comb let alone a hair dryer

Remove bike from warm flat into cold morning air and your grips might be sliding all over the place with condensation like mine were this morning.

peel em back like a condom
might not work cause of the flange though?

Swiss Tony hell yeah!!!

Tilt bike till grip is in vertical plane. Poke park tools 2.5 mm hex key deep into grip with a dribble of water and work it off with a big wriggle and more water between hex key and grip. Replace it with a copious application of 'shock waves' hair spray when your job's done. Easoid peasoid.

lighter fluid (no don't light the thing!)

do light the thing, but video it for us.

i always found the easiest way is to soak the handlebars in warm water with squeezy liquid in it, cleans them up a treat as well whilst wiggling them off.
