Replacing the auxiliary belt is a relatively simple maintenance task, but it is essential to note the routing of the belt around the pulleys before proceeding with disassembly. Essentially, you need to loosen the tensioner and slide off the belt, but to facilitate this operation, it is advisable to unscrew the fixing bolt of the support bracket for the air conditioning pipe, which passes right in front of the alternator pulley.

Once the belt is removed, compare the length and the number of grooves with the new one, route it around the pulleys, and tension it using the appropriate tensioner.

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.
