Loosen the bolts of the front wheels, lift the bonnet (this will be needed later), and raise the car on a ramp if possible. Remove the front wheels.

To remove the front shock absorbers, you will need to unscrew all bolts and pins on the hub carrier, then remove the lower arm ball joint. At this point, remove the steering rack ball joint.

For safety, disconnect the starter motor and the positive terminal of the battery. Drain the used oil from the gearbox by freeing the lower drain hole, then remove the drive shafts by unscrewing the pins that hold them to the gearbox.

Disconnect the gear lever and the clutch cable. Now, an assistant will need to support the gearbox while you remove the nuts that connect the gearbox bell housing to the engine.

Disconnect the clutch disc and the pressure plate. Install the new clutch.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
