Lift the vehicle on appropriate jack stands and remove the front wheel; proceed to remove the mounting pins of the brake caliper from the support and then the support itself. Next, unscrew the rotor mounting bolt from the hub and remove it from its seat; install the new rotor (after cleaning it with solvent to remove protective oil) by tightening the mounting bolt properly and reposition the caliper support; then insert the new brake pads, retract the caliper piston, and reposition the caliper onto the support.

Pay attention during the initial braking.

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.
