[QUOTE="TBuckus, post: 1227676, member: 49491"] Well I got the pad off reasonably easy. I called B&C just to see what they recommended and to compare it to everyone's tips. They said to freeze the stock for 24 hrs and then try to tap and pry it off. My pad was not screwed down, just glued. After taking it out of the freezer, I tried scoring it with a utility knife. It was difficult in some areas. It wanted to drift onto the stock. I used a wide wood chisel, about 1-1/2", to gently tap on the joint. It popped free pretty easily and I just worked my way around the stock, using a second chisel to hold a gap open. The only issue I had was a small piece of stock came off with the pad at the top. It won't be a problem filling it in when I glue a new pad on. Maybe if I chiseled it from the top, instead of prying from the bottom, it wouldn't have done that. Now off to find a new pad.......
