A tutorial on how to replace the timing chain on a BMW 320 F30 is always very interesting. While changing the timing belt is a complex job, replacing the chain is a specialist task because it requires the correct tension and specific tools and skills.

In fact, the engine must be completely disassembled, as the YouTuber mentions, so much so that most professional mechanics prefer to remove it entirely for easier access. The video is a time-lapse; otherwise, it would take hours.

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.
