Thin screwdriver poked cautiously under the grip, right next to the bar, and drizzle WD40 along blade. Remove screwdriver, and carefully insert nozzle of WD40 can into space vacated by screwdriver blade, and give it a couple of gentle squirts, and let sit for 10 mins. The grips will slide off oh, so easily! Same lube can be used for fitting new grips. WD40 eventually dries and grips won't slip (contrary to what many ignorant folk might have you believe…)
