dip them in warm water for 10 minutes and lube them up with soap water for the grips. For the basket i think the same might work and a little man power.
usually they just twist off.....? well mine do. because i switch up my baskets a lot between little feet, smiley faces, and $$$.... i like to be festive!
fool proof way for the grips. but it might sound confusing... go to a doorway and open the door. put the pole with the grip end up in the top corner of the door where the hinge is. get the grip to sit on the very top of the door and pull hard. if you dont understand, well that sucks. but try it, it works.

haha just stick them in a vice so that onlt the drip is impeded in movement and pull the fuck out of them. pretend your jackin off an elephant and that shit will come off, although i havent tried that before im sure it would work.
