This video shows the removal and replacement of an old shock absorber on a Honda CR-V. After lifting the vehicle on a ramp, remove the rear wheel. Loosen the lower shock absorber bolt without removing it. Then, after removing the dust cover, unscrew the three bolts located at the top. Now you can remove the previously loosened lower bolt and, using a lever and a few taps with a hammer, free the shock absorber.

Position the new shock absorber, aligning the holes correctly to secure it, and reattach the upper and lower bolts. Tighten the upper bolts from inside the cabin and replace the plastic cover that protects the upper end of the shock absorber.

Finally, reassemble the wheel.

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.
