Loosen the bolts of the affected wheel, lift the car with a jack, and remove the wheel. Disconnect the two wires connected to the disc (one relates to the ABS and needs to be removed with an Allen key), then unscrew the two screws that fix the shock absorber to the front hub, and finally unscrew the upper screw of the shock absorber.

Use a 6 mm Allen key and a 19 mm spanner to unscrew the shock absorber stem, as shown in the video. Once done, you can remove the upper cover.

Slide the shock absorber out of its seat and insert the new one, proceeding in reverse for reassembly.

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.
