Removing the front shock absorber from a Fiat Panda? Start by lifting the car on a column lift and locate the shock absorber to be removed. Use a socket spanner to undo the mounting bolts of the shock absorber (at the top and bottom).

Use two spanners to remove the mounting bolts (hold one while loosening with the other). Open and lift the bonnet, then undo the securing screws above the shock absorber.

Remove the shock absorber from its housing. Insert the new shock absorber into its housing and first tighten all the bolts at the top of the shock absorber, then secure the bottom.

Refit the wheel once the installation is complete.

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.
