How do you remove glued recoil pad?

To remove a glued recoil pad, start by using a heat source, like a hairdryer or heat gun, to warm the pad and soften the adhesive. Once the glue is pliable, gently pry the pad off using a putty knife or similar tool, being careful not to damage the stock. If any adhesive residue remains, you can clean it off with a solvent, such as acetone or rubbing alcohol, and then prepare the surface for a new pad.
