One more tip for the grips installation / removing:
-Use pressurized air!
You can buy air cans meant for example cleaning up computer components & other electrical parts from dust. The cans normally come with a long nozzle which you can slip under the grip. Use it to create an "air pillow" between the grip and the bar and you'll slip the grip in (or out) without hassling with any soaps or hairsprays...

Classic car tip... Biological washing powder for when your hands are black. You must use cream after and not do it too often but it works a treat when all else fails!

(it may be idea to make sure the wife is out and bribe the kids to not grass you up though)
