Let's see how to change the brake pads on a Ford Ecosport: turn the steering wheel to angle the wheels outward, making it easier to access the back of the brake. Push the outer pad to compress the piston, just enough to lift the caliper over the edge of the disc.

Remove the upper and lower retaining clips. Remove the two dust caps to access the brake pins and unscrew them, lift the caliper and move it without letting it hang; brush the contact areas of the disc with a wire brush to remove dust and rust, spray brake cleaner, allowing it to dry on its own. Open the cap of the brake fluid reservoir and using a 'C' clamp, push the piston back into the caliper.

Apply brake grease to the back of the pad, lower the caliper back into position, reassemble the two pins, the dust caps, and the front retaining clips.

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.

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.
