Before you begin, lift the rear side of your Chevrolet Cruze. Start by unscrewing and removing the bolts securing the rear wheel, then remove the wheel itself.

Next, unscrew and remove the bolt that secures the upper section of the brake caliper. This will give you access to the brake pads.

Proceed by unfastening and extracting the pads from their housing, and you will have completed the removal. To fit the new pads and reassemble everything, simply follow these steps in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.

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.
