The rear wheel hub bearing is sold complete with the hub itself, so the replacement essentially involves disassembling the hub. Lift the vehicle on a ramp and remove the rear wheel. Disconnect the suspension wishbone and remove the brake caliper along with its support.

Then, unscrew the fixing bolt of the brake disc to the hub and remove the cap to access the adjuster for the shoes to loosen it and remove the disc. At this point, unscrew the four nuts securing the hub flange to remove it and proceed in reverse for the installation of the new one.

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.
