After unscrewing the bolts, lift the vehicle and remove the rear right wheel. Using an 18mm socket, unscrew the two bolts on your right, as shown in the video.

Unscrew the T40 torx screws on the disc, then detach the spring and its pin with pliers. Lever the brackets holding the shoes and remove them.

Using a flat screwdriver, detach the cable fixed behind the disc. With rounded-tip pliers, detach the handbrake cable following its path until you reach the lever.

Insert the new cable in reverse order and reassemble everything.

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.
