Loosen the rear wheel mounting bolts before lifting the vehicle and securing it on appropriate axle stands. Then remove the wheel and the protective cap of the central hub nut: the nut has a dent to prevent it from accidentally loosening; you can try to straighten it with a screwdriver (if you want to unscrew it manually) or simply unscrew it with a pneumatic gun. At this point, slide off the hub bell, remove the old bearing, and insert the new one (or clean and grease the old one); reposition the hub bell, the front washer, and then tighten the nut, re-denting it with a hammer and chisel, and reattach the cap (straightening the edges if necessary).

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.
