Loosen the wheel bolts of the affected wheel, lift the car with a jack, and completely remove the bolts to take off the wheel. Remove the pressure-fit cover by inserting a flat screwdriver into the gap and prying it off, as shown in the video.

Unscrew the 22 mm central hub nut (to be tightened to 240 Nm later). Give the drum a few taps with a hammer and pry it off in the gap to free it from its seat.

This operation requires a lot of patience. Once opened, release the clips and the tension adjuster, and remove the brake shoes.

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.
