Oh man????? yes I have done a few but to explain it in type will be harder than doing it. BK you guys got a video? I would go to youtube and find a video on it. It is not hard to change them out.

I have changed grips a couple of times and compressed air from a fairly big air compressor is your best friend both to loosen the old grips and to get the new ones on before the start sticking to the glue.

unfortunitly I don't have access to an air compressor so I guess I'm gonna hav to cut them off they run about 12 bucks each. I have 2 sleds that must have been built after each other cuz the serial numbers are 1 number apart (their both the same) what are the odds that both would lose handwarmers practically at the same time? They were bought in 04 & have 7k miles on each of them.

The manual says 13 ohms on the low & 21 high I get 7 on low & 19 on high not being an electrician does the readings have to be at those specs or is there some leeway on the readings?

you need to check voltage before cutting things apart , i think your heaters are fine

I would lift the end of grips up with a screwdriver and then put a little alcohol or hairspray in by the screwdriver to remove. When putting them back on do the same thing. once the alcohol evaporates it should hold real well. It alway's worked on mountain bikes when i was changing the grips out anyway.

steal your budy's comp if you need to remove them , you will need it to put grips back over heaters , no glue needed
