Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the front wheel; then unscrew the retaining pins of the brake caliper located at the rear and remove it from its seat; take out the old pads (you can do this without a hammer) and insert the new ones, applying copper grease to the outer surface of the pads, on the piston, and on the caliper retaining pins; retract the caliper piston using a clamp or adjustable pliers instead of levering with a screwdriver, and tighten the retaining pins again.

Pump the brake pedal until it offers the correct resistance.

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.
