Before applying the new gasket to the intake manifold, it is absolutely essential to thoroughly clean the gasket seating area, both on the cylinder head side and the manifold side: all dirt and deposits that could compromise the adhesion and thus the sealing of the gasket must be removed; after cleaning, place the new gasket in its seat aligning it with the dowel pins, then position the intake manifold and tighten the respective mounting nuts in a cross pattern using a torque wrench.

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.
