Removing a heated grip

Any ideas on separating a heated grip from the throttle tube?

I believe its been glued on and I need to keep both of them so no cutting allowed.

At the moment I've got it soaking in water for no apparent reason Confused

I removed some today.
I put the throttle tube in my fancy vice with pipe jaws (I didn't care about damaging it too much, but I only got a couple of little marks on it.)
Then lifted up the grip as much as I could and sprayed WD40 up it at each end and.
Then just pulled as hard I could!

Nice toasty hands on my ZX9 now Very Happy

Plenty of heat, so maybe a hair dryer is if its got a high enough setting.

Very thin screwdriver under one bit and then get some wd 40 or such sprayed and gently work it round.

Cheers guys but ponder no more.

With but my wits, a stout heart, and two universal tools No.1 I resolved the issue in an expedicious manner and returned in good time for tea.
