Thats not a bad idea from Tweak.
Ive read on another forum that you put it in the oven on low heat for a while to melt the glue. Never done it though. Would advise constant caution.
I got a drill press but am jealous about your hydrolic press. Have been wanting one for a while in my workshop.
A mig is another thing I'd like.
There will be no stopping you Josh.
Nice work mate.
That will hold as good as original I recon.
I did my Patrol alloy bar today as well. Also did a bit of customising on it as well.
Must have been the day for it.
I would like to know how they picked it up when you didn't.
Consider what they would actually be doing during a service.
Anyway welcome mate. Hope it all gets sorted for you.
Mines still on the original pads but Ive done plenty before. Its an easy job.
You just use a screw clamp to compress the piston(s) back into the caliper before you fit the new pads.
Its a Hyundai Terracan 4x4.
Considering a good number of them don't get 10L per 100kays I wouldn't say "they" are an engineering feat.

It seems that it luck of the draw when buying one.
My wife's 2.9L CRDI Highlander always gets around 8L per 100. (often lower) I wonder what Nissan have done wrong with the 2.5 CRDI.
Sure a D40 would probably be heavier but surely not enough.
I agree with ProNav about buying a Folcodore ute.
An engine conversion is not something you do with little to no mech ability.
I put an FJ20 turbo into a Datsun when I was a young tacker. What a PITA job. Wouldn't do it again.
