To replace the front shock absorbers, lift the vehicle on a ramp, remove the front wheel, disconnect the link from the bracket on the shock absorber, the cable guides, and unscrew the bolts that secure it to the hub support; once the lower part of the shock absorber is free, lower the vehicle and remove the plastic grille under the windscreen (you will need to remove the wiper blades) to access the strut tops and complete the disassembly; at this point, apply the appropriate clamp to the spring to compress it and remove the support from the shaft; then fit the spring and support to the new shock absorber and proceed in reverse for installation on the vehicle.

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.
