In this video, you will see how to replace the battery on a Ford Transit MK8: in this vehicle, the battery is located under the driver's seat rather than in the engine compartment, which must be removed or at least lifted from its housing. Underneath, you will find a complete T40 bolt, and once this is removed, you can lay the seat back on its backrest from both sides.

There are still two 8 mm bolts to remove, allowing you to take off the safety plate and comfortably access the battery underneath, which is no different from a standard battery.

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.
