I've never really had any luck doing that, as the glue I'd used was reasonably tenacious and I did not take the time. They broke up pretty well both times.
You'd need something slender and sharpened, reasonably flexible to work around between the grip and the bar to separate the grip from the glue before working them off. Otherwise they do tend to break apart. You MIGHT (untested theory follows).... - drill a hole in the end of one just large enough to take the business end of a compressor air hose nozzle - then see if air pressure will help you off. That used to work for rubber grips - the other option would be to slice the grip laterally and take each half off (easier to work the details with a flexible blade), then make a hollow at each end for a twine wrap when you reattach to the new bars. - Jim "clearly, it's Friday..."
