The whole lever or just the pad/grip part?

If its anything like the earlier models, then the grip part IS the lever. Not seperatable easily. You take the entire lever off and swap the entire unit. Dunno if that applies to SH though.

The grip is usually glued in place. Using a heat gun may loosen it. Sometimes you need to destroy the current grip (=cut it off). I have seen this done on SG's.

Much easier to just unclip the cable and swap the entire lever
