I've done this several times, since the vinyl boot on my armrest won't
slide over it, so I need to remove the plastic grip every time I want to
adjust the front handbrake cable.
I always use the wife's hairdryer for heating the grip very gently. That
softens it up and expands it enough to slide it off the metal assembly
quite easily.
Hope this helps.
