The gasket kit for the series Smeriglio always includes the rocker cover gasket: after thoroughly cleaning the gasket seats, insert the gasket into the corresponding seat under the cover, apply gasket sealant along the edges of the cylinder head, and place the cover, tightening the fastening pins in a cross pattern using a torque wrench; ensure that the gasket does not protrude from its seat and clean any excess sealant once it has completely dried (which generally takes a few minutes).

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.
