Lift the vehicle and remove the wheel. Remove the caliper support bracket using a 17 mm ratchet wrench by unscrewing the two rear screws and set it aside.

Remove the electrical contacts and the pads. Lubricate the mechanism with copper grease and reinstall the new pads.

The pad with the electrical contacts should be mounted facing inward, paying attention to the direction of travel. If replacing the discs, proceed as follows.

Remove the brake. Using an Allen wrench, unscrew the retaining screws of the disc while holding it steady.

If the disc is stuck, use a rubber mallet and tap it until it completely comes off the hub. Clean the support thoroughly with deoxidizing spray and a wire brush, then lubricate the mechanism. Clean the new discs before installation to remove the preservation grease.

Reinstall the disc, aligning the mounting holes. Use new screws for fastening if possible.

Reinstall the bracket, cleaning and greasing the fastening screws. Reinstall the caliper, the pads, and realign the piston, then check the adherence of the pads to the disc.

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.
