Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the front wheel. Then unscrew the fixing pins of the brake caliper, remove it from its position, slide out the old pads, and ensure that the floating pins move freely in the caliper support.

Retract the caliper piston using a C-clamp or adjustable spanner, apply copper grease to the sliding tabs of the pads, and insert them into the respective support before repositioning and securing the caliper. Pump the brake pedal until it offers the correct resistance and pay attention during the first braking.

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.
