3. Pull the end of the grip and spray on the WD-40 to loosen the contact. You may also remove the grips by twisting and folding its inner fringe. Remember where the original location was.

4. After your grip has been pulled, clean the handle with rubbing alcohol. Ensure that you do remove the glue with the Clip-on. Also, lubricate the Clip-on with rubbing alcohol and slide the new grip. While sliding it, do some twisting styles. Do this while the alcohol is not evaporated, otherwise it's going to be harder to twist the grip on the handle bar.

You may also use oil instead of alcohol but make sure the grip's material will not get damaged by the oil.
