Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the rear wheel; then remove the retaining pins of the brake caliper and take it off the bracket; extract the old pads; lubricate the caliper retaining pins; remove the retaining springs of the pads from the bracket and clean them if new ones are not included in the kit. Then apply the new pads; retract the piston in the caliper using a C-clamp and install it back onto the bracket, tightening the retaining pins securely.

Repeat the same process on the other wheel.

Pay attention during the first braking.

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.
