Apply some penetrating oil to the bolts securing the shock absorber and loosen them with a 19 mm spanner (they may be quite tight). To remove it from its seat, you will need to use a large lever or crowbar until it is extracted from the lower seat.

After doing this, shake it and pull it firmly to ensure it comes out from the top as well. Similarly, when fitting new shock absorbers, proceed in reverse order: insert them first at the top and then at the bottom before tightening the bolts.

Check that the purchased shock absorbers come with rubber bushes. It is recommended to always replace both shock absorbers, even if only one is significantly worn.

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.
