Removal - Louis GRIP 11 Instrucciones De Uso

4.2 | Removal

IMPORTANT!
Risk of damage!
• Remove the instrument housings from the handlebar so that
they are not scratched or damaged while the grips are being
removed or fitted.
• Brake cleaner can dissolve sponge or foam rubber grips and
is therefore not suitable. Only use a mild cleaning agent for
these types of grips.
• If the grip is glued to the switch unit, carefully cut it away with
a utility knife.
If the grips still cannot be pulled off the handlebar after following the above
advice, use an open-ended wrench (size 24) to push them off from their inner
edge. This technique works a lot better than levering the grips off with a
screwdriver, for example.
First remove the bar ends of the original
handlebar. For this you will need sufficient
leverage, as the screw connection is often
stuck tight. It is best to unscrew cross-head
screws with an impact driver. If you do not
have one, a couple of sharp taps with a
hammer on a cross-head screwdriver that
fits the screw exactly and then applying a
constant force should help to loosen the
screw.
Then you need to remove your old rubber
grips. A professional would blow compressed
air between the rubber and the handlebar.
At home you can just as well squirt a little
dishwashing liquid or brake cleaner (no oil,
petrol or other fuels) under the grip using a
disposable syringe.
