Today, you will see how to remove the gear knob from a Ford S-Max (model from 2006 to 2015) and a Galaxy, specifically the automatic gear knob. First, get inside the car and use a plastic lever and a sharp object to remove the knob by pulling the gaiter back, pressing the tab, and simultaneously pulling it upwards, as shown in the video.

At this point, refit the new one by inserting it and reattaching the gear gaiter; ensure the knob is tight and check if it remains secure during driving.

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.
