Loosen the bolts of the affected rear wheel, lift the car with a jack (if you don't have a lift), and remove them completely, then take off the wheel. Remove the center nut using a 36 mm socket, and with an 18 mm socket, remove the rear bolts of the brake caliper, as shown in the video.

Using a screwdriver, pull out the caliper. Remove the rotor with a 6 mm insert and take that out as well.

Unscrew the bearing and take it out. Reverse the steps for installation, first installing the new bearing, then the rotor, followed by the caliper, and finally the center nut and the wheel. Good luck!

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
