I know someone prob posted this but i found an easy way to remove old grips easily today. I was struggling trying to get them to budge at all when i thought hey why not run hot water over them for a few mins to try to get them to expand a bit. Worked easy as could be. Like i said alot of you prob allready knew this but for some reason i never thought of it till today. Took a set of old silver metalflake grips and red clear western flyer grips off neither set would budge at first.
