well in that case...

boiling water is the easiest.  throw dem grips in for a bit, theyll come off easy.  then just put em in a vice n cut em with a hacksaw.  keep in mind, however, that the grips go all the way down over the poles.  ive cut my fair share too short without thinking about this fact.  youre better off too long to start than too short.

ive never had ones stuck enough for boiling water. i stick em in a door and have someone hold it shut and pull. just make sure you dont impale yourself when it comes loose directly at your chest
