This video shows the removal and replacement of the engine air filter on a Ford Focus. After opening the bonnet, first remove the four 8 mm bolts that secure the air box cover.

Once the box is open, remove the old filter by disconnecting it from the air tube. To position the new one, use the plastic tab on one side of the filter as a reference point and its location in the box; it should then be reattached in the same position as the one just replaced.

At this point, you can close the box.

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.
