Rent-a-friend,
1. hair dryer to heat up the gum
2. pull pads off
3. either wd40 or 'sticky stuff' remover from DIY shop
4. wash with soapy water
5. have a beer
6. have a pie to go with beer
7. have another beer, seeing as you are at it
8. stick new pad on
9. have a beer
10. job done
hope it helps

No problem. I don't think they do a set specifically for the VTEC, but they do a universal set which, I assume, you could cut to shape.
