Slammer, you could try soaking it in warm/hot soapy water for a while, but if it's been on there as long as I think, it could be really tuff to get off.....................D

Try sliding something thin (small screwdriver) under the rubber while it is warm, and spray some WD40 in the gap it creates. Keep working it around and it should free up.

Compressed air works well, after heating grip with a blow dryer or heat gun.

I totally took the rubber handle off, and now it works fine. Going to buy replacements! Problem solved. On to the next......
