Generously lubricate the new oil seal and its housing with clean oil; align the oil seal to its housing with the lip facing inwards and push it in until fully seated using a suitable tool that allows for insertion without damaging or deforming it. Once the new camshaft oil seal is installed, fit the timing belt pulley, tightening the relevant fixing bolt with a torque wrench.

Subsequently, when completing the installation of the timing belt, ensure the timing marks are correctly aligned.

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.
