Today's instructions will show us how to disassemble and replace the air conditioning compressor of the BMW 5 Series. First, we open the hood of the car and start removing the components located above the air conditioning compressor, also removing the coolant tank and disconnecting the piping; then we disconnect the various rigid and non-rigid pipes of the air conditioning compressor, disconnect the electrical wiring and then unscrew the fixing screws, as shown in the video.

Once the compressor pulley belt is disconnected, it will be possible to remove it; we replace the air conditioning compressor with the new one!

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
