If you need to replace the lower torsion bar due to the failure of its support ends, lift the vehicle on a lift and start by removing the nuts securing the end links of the bar to the hub support; then, remove the stop pin that secures the end link to the bar, loosen the lock nut, and use a fork puller to extract the end link from the hub before unscrewing it from the bar; then proceed to remove the nuts securing the bar ends to the engine cradle to complete the removal and extract it from its seat; then reverse the process to install the new bar, first seating it in its place, tightening the nuts of the ends, and then screwing in the terminal ones.

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.
