Video tutorial

To replace the tailgate springs on a Fiat Freemont, first place a support under the tailgate to prevent it from falling when removing the struts. Unscrew the lower part from its support and remove the clip from the upper part.

Obtain the new struts. Reattach the clip from the upper part and screw the lower part back in. Ensure the angle is the same as the original; if necessary, tilt it slightly more to match its natural inclination.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

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.
