Today, let's go through the process of disassembling and replacing the battery in the key fob for the Chevrolet Equinox. First, take your key fob and use something thin and sharp to pry open the side slot.

Then, split the fob into two halves, as shown in the video. At this point, remove the old battery and replace it with a new one of the correct type (in this case, a CR2032 3V). Insert it in the correct orientation and reassemble the fob, checking that all buttons are functioning properly.

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.
