Anybody know anyone in Dublin who does this - want to change a new putter grip but want to keep the original one as well?

Most of those guys can remove a grip with solvent and save it too.

Yep agree - white spirits usually will slide it out, without getting a blade to the grip, if you have any sort of suction / syringe to pump it onto the top end of the shaft of the club, that will help get it off!
better wear a face mask . . . will blow the head off you.

I have done this a few times using petrol and a large syringe with a strong needle (vets or docs will have them). Simply inject the petrol at an angle under the grip and work it around until the grip just slides off.

Never tried it with white spirits, but imagine it works just as well.
