Default lathe handwheel rust removal

Rescued my lathe after 2 years inside an unheated shop (northwest USA).
Would like to clean the rust off of the handwheels. I would like to spin
the handwheels in the lathe and use steel wool to polish. BUT, how do I
remove the "grip" from the handwheels. Are they press fit? BTW, the
"grips" are the kind that spin while you turn the wheel.

Thanks for all suggestions,
