Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift; open the front bonnet and locate the cap on the plastic cover of the wheel arch, beneath which is the nut securing the shock absorber stem; proceed to remove this nut while holding the stem using a pair of locking pliers.

At this point, place a jack under the rear suspension arm to complete the removal of the shock absorber; then fit the new shock absorber with the rubber bump stop and the plastic cover, and reverse the process for installation.

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.
