Not sure if this will work, but a trick I use to use for putting rubber
handlebar grips onto motorcycles was coat the inside of the grip with Gas, then
slide it on. Gas softened the rubber and when it evaporated left nothing

Geez, you don't use gas for cycle grips, you use simple soap and water.

I don't know. I use WD-40 or penetrating oil to lubricate hose connections
and the rubber caps on ignition wires. On wooden oars I'd sooner try linseed
oil or cooking oil but have never put rubber stops on oars. Gasoline might
do bad things to the finish on finished oars.
