Doing a routine job , which I done for many years, I removed the side friction pads from my AKS2004/3004 stabiliser for a clean. On pad was knocked out as usual but the other pad fell out easily when knocked.
So what normally holds the pads in ?
I cannot find any debris/remains on the pebbles where the van is.
I have searched the internet for a decent diagram to find out if the pads are normally retained by a circlip or rubber ring, etc and how to fix it but to no avail. Can I get what I need to fix the problem. I cannot believe this doesn't happen to others. I can see a groove in the problem hole and possibly a circlip in the other hole - all very inaccessible.
Help please.
