To remove the alternator, it is easier to access from underneath, so lift the vehicle on a ramp. Disconnect the cables and the connector attached to it, loosen the tensioner of the auxiliary belt to free the alternator pulley, and then proceed to remove the relevant fixing bolts.

Once the alternator is removed, you can either overhaul it (spare parts for the overhaul are fairly easy to find) or install a refurbished one. The video shows the replacement of the complete brush plate. Then proceed in reverse for installation.

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.
