Question New Grips- How to remove?

Hey all. I put on the kuryakyn ISO flame grips last nite. The throttle side went on fine. I was "pre-installing" the left side, making sure the length looked alright and the need of a spacer wasn't. When I was sliding the grip on, I noticed I couldn't get it all the way up to where it would fit flush and go over the lip next to the switch housing. I repeatedly tried to push that up there to no avail. I thought that maybe when I applied the glue, it would provide enough lubrication for the grip to make that last 1/4" or so.

So I applied the glue and kept my fingers crossed, pushing that grip as hard as I could. I couldn't make it over the lip though. What the heck? I am real p'ssed right now, looking at the noticeable space between the grip and the switch housing.
Anyone have any ideas to possibly correct the issue?
Or ideas on best way to rip that grip off?
If I do take it off and attempt to put another one on, what is the trick to get it over the lip?

thanks!
