Remove your barends, use some compressed air (if you don't have an air compressor this wont work) blow air between the bar and the grip as you are trying to pull it off. The air will temporarily expand the grip enough to make it slip. You may have to do this more than once to get the grip off. When you re-install the new ones push them as far as you can then blow air up in between grip and bar as before as you are pushing them on. Again it may take more than once to get it all the way on. This has worked for me every time and I've never had to put anything in or on them to get them to stay.

dont use soap because it cam make the grips slide off when your riding

Luckily for me, mine came right off with a lil twisting and pulling.
Then to make sure they stick, I sprayed the inside of the new ones down with some hair spray.
