So I'm finally working up the courage to try swapping out some junky hard rubber grips on my DL1 for the real Raleigh items. The problem is this:

a. the cheapo grips are quite stubborn- they really don't want to go anywhere. What methods do you suggest to knock off stubborn grips without damaging the bars?

b. the Raleigh grips that came from an old set of bars I had around have always been a bit loose. They tended to move around on the old bars a bit. I'd like to put them on the new bars- is there some way of putting them on and getting them to stick in place once they're on. In theory they should fit since the bar size is just what the grips are made for- any ideas on getting them to stick though?

Thanks
