Follow these steps to replace the front brake pads on a Hyundai Tucson. Lift the vehicle on a column jack (crick) to the desired height, then remove the wheel (using a socket wrench or air drill) with the respective bolts.

Unscrew the retaining bolt of the brake caliper and remove it from the wheel hub. Use a screwdriver to detach the pads to be replaced from the caliper; remove the brake caliper and subsequently the disc (if replacing). Install the new pads onto the caliper, mount the brake caliper back onto the hub. Tighten all bolts and reinstall the wheel.

Prepare to perform the same operations on the other calipers present on the vehicle.

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.
