Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the front wheel; then proceed to unscrew the mounting bolts of the shock absorber from the hub support, generously lubricating the joint with penetrating spray to ease the operation; next, unscrew the shock absorber support at the top in the engine bay and complete the removal of the shock absorber itself; then apply clamps to the spring to compress it and remove the support from the shock absorber shaft; insert the dust cover into the new shock absorber, the rubber plate where the spring rests, and then the spring itself; secure the upper support to the shaft and release the spring; reverse the process for installation back onto 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.
