Do you still have the pad? If so, and it still has the glue on the back
of it, you can put the pad in place, and take a lighter and heat the
outside of the pad cup to melt the glue. Of course, you can take the key
off first if it's in an easy spot.

The only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked! :)
