#193393 ajbonner (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 644 ISO grip removal 3 Years ago   Those that have had to remove left ISO grip. What is best? I dont have my compressor.....it died, haven't replaced. Thanks   Logged     Two wheels are better than four!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #193394 Greeny (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 502 Re:ISO grip removal 3 Years ago   I cut mine off as I was changing the bars/grips out anyways. I've heard it can be done, but unfortunately I believe compressed air was involved. Mine was glued on pretty good. You can try a long, thin screwdriver to try and pry it loose in small bits, but I'm afraid you'll end up messing up the rubber. New grips would always look cool....

First find a small flathead screwdriver that you can insert at the top of your grip and pry the grip back a little enough to spray some wd-40 or whatever lube youve got. Try getting the spray as far down the grip as you can. Let it sit a little while and then try to free the grip. Other than using air or cuttin it off I don't know any other way.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #193401 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:ISO grip removal 3 Years ago   If the person who put them on used the supplied glue (super glue) then it's going to be tough to remove them without destroying the rubber. Acetone dissovles super glue .... but it also dissolves rubber so you may be SOL. Dino's way is probably the best .... using a thin screwdriver... go slowly and use a very thing blade. WD-40 does not work on Super Glue ... it's only good if they used grip glue.

Find someone who is the MR T type; they may grab, twist, & pull and take it right off. Clifford   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #193578 louie (User) lets ride!! Expert Boarder Posts: 423 Re:ISO grip removal 3 Years ago   i used a phillips screwdriver and pushed it in from the end and then turned it like i was turning a screw and pulled with the other hand at the same time and it pulled right off.   Logged     screwy louie   The administrator has disabled public write access. #193611 Aussie B (User) I intend to live forever, so far so good Senior Boarder Posts: 366 Re:ISO grip removal 3 Years ago   Swapping handle bars as we speak, used long thin screw driver and a spray bottle of soapy water. took about 1 min to get it off. I dont glue mine on, just make sure the bar is clean and dry and push the grip on in one fast big push. Never had one slip.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #193615 louie (User) lets ride!!
