This video shows how to remove and replace the front brake pads on your car. First, lift the car with the help of a ramp or jack, then remove the front wheel rims to easily access the brake pads. Start by unscrewing the bolts of the brake calipers to remove the pads; use a screwdriver to lever between the brake pad and the brake disc to retract the caliper piston.

Once the piston is retracted, you can more easily remove the pads; after removing the old pads, install the new ones with the new fixing brackets and reassemble everything.

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.
