yup. either get an air compressor and blast them off or stick a flat head screw driver under the grip, lift up and tip warm water under it. just twist it around so the water gets everywhere and they'll slide off

WD-40, or any other brand degreaser, spray with the long narrow nozzles also work really well. Just lift up enough with the screwdriver to get the nozzle in, squirt and twist -- they pop right out! Smile
