Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the front wheel. Disconnect the retaining spring and then remove the retaining pins of the brake pads to take them out. Unscrew the retaining bolts of the brake caliper and move it away from its support, then retract the piston using a C-clamp.

Next, remove the brake disc, clean the hub support with a wire brush, and apply grease. Remove the protective oil from the new discs and fit them onto the hub. Also clean the brake caliper, apply copper grease, insert the new pads, and secure it to the support.

Finally, insert the retaining pins of the pads and reconnect the spring. Be cautious during the first braking.

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.
