To replace the front brake pads, lift the vehicle on appropriate axle stands, remove the front wheel, and before starting to disassemble the caliper, leverage between the disc and the caliper to fully retract the piston. At this point, disconnect the outer retaining spring, remove the protective caps from the caliper mounting pins, and unscrew them to remove the caliper.

Then, extract the old pads, ensure the piston is fully retracted, and insert the new ones. Proceed in reverse for reassembly, paying particular attention to reattach the outer spring.

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.
