Easy handlebar grip removal

A lot of you guys probably already know this,but i needed to pull off my throttle grip tonight.I hadn't ever glued ot on,but it was really not wanting to come off.I slid the smallest screwdriver i had in between the grip and the plastic part of the twist and then squirted some all mighty PB Blaster in there with the straw.Slipped off like nothing!Of course you need to clean off the PB,but worked really well

in doing the opposite, putting them on and having them stay on... well this worked for BMX when I used to ride. but grips are grips..

Spray hairspray inside the grip and slide it on, quick... then the hairspray will dry and those things are on there good.

getting them off i used to use wd40 with the straw and get it inside and spray and bam work them off, but now that i have an air compressor i slide a nozzle in and bam right off, to get then on anything that would dry would work, hair spray is good, i actually used olive oil and it working perfectly i have actually never used any kind of grip glue lol im sure one day it will haunt me but meh ill cross that bridge when i get there
