The modification involves deriving the water pipe directly from the primary radiator duct. You will need to obtain the kit for the derivation.

To avoid draining the radiator, create two pinch points upstream and downstream using spanners and clamps or another tool capable of stopping the flow of liquid. Cut the pipe between the pinch points and insert the derivation, securing it with hose clamps.

The pipe to be derived must also be pinched with surgical pliers or a similar tool and cut. The remaining stub must be sealed with a suitable cap. At this point, create the new connection between the newly installed derivation and the removed pipe, and remove the pinch points on the primary pipe.

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.
