Be careful with its head and threads. If they are already damaged, better replace them also. 3.Pull the end of the grip and spray on the WD-40 to loosen the contact. You can remove the grips by twisting and folding its inner edge. Remember where the original location of the inner edge. 4.After the grip has been pulled, clean the handle with rubbing alcohol.
