Once you have the grips off, remove the brake levers and shifters. Put the new shifters on, and put everything back together. After the grips, the next hardest thing is the cable and you already know how to do that.
Lacking a compressor I have had good success working a thin screwdriver blade under the grip, then inserting a WD-40 straw alongside and shooting a little in. Work the blade and grip around a little (turn the handle)and the grip will slide off fairly easily. Just clean the bar and grip after so they do not movbe around when reinstalled.
