Lift the vehicle at the wheel where the repair will be carried out and apply an axle stand. Then remove the wheel and the brake caliper, taking out the brake pads.

Unscrew the retaining pins of the brake disc and remove it from the hub, then unscrew the central hub retaining nut: use a suitable puller to extract the hub from the rear axle, which should be cleaned thoroughly and lubricated. Insert the new hub complete with bearing and tap it in the centre so that the nut can be screwed on, which must then be tightened adequately: dimple the edge of the nut with a chisel and apply the cap. Reassemble the brake disc (after applying grease to the centre of the hub to prevent rust), the caliper, the pads, and finally the wheel.

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.
