Position the vehicle on appropriate axle stands and remove the front wheel; use a lever between the disc and the pads to retract the pistons and facilitate removal; unscrew the fixing bolts of the caliper from the bracket, move the caliper and extract the old pads; clean the sliding plates, apply copper grease to the plates and the back of the new pads, insert them onto the bracket, fully retract the pistons with a pair of pliers or a C-clamp and reposition the caliper, tightening the respective fixing bolts.

Take care 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.
