Wish they made the clamps for brake levers so you could remove them with having to take grips and shifters off. I assume its a safety thing though so a loose brake lever doesn't just fly off on you.

Better grips actually have a little allen bolt that you loosen and they slide right off. And many brake levers have a 2 piece body so you can pull them right off. I just did this the other week as I like my brake levers inboard of my shifters.
You just have bad luck
Use an air compressor or some lube for those types of grips next time.
