Remove the rear wheel of the car and detach the brake caliper. Unscrew the bolts securing the caliper and support it in a way that does not excessively strain the brake fluid hoses, which could be damaged.

Once the caliper is removed, take off the disc: after removing the screws, disconnect the handbrake as the disc hub also serves as a drum for the handbrake shoes. After extracting the disc, remove the shoes and the springs holding them in place.

At this point, remove the hub cap with a screwdriver and unscrew the nut, having flattened the notch to prevent it from unscrewing, using a screwdriver and a hammer. Using a puller, detach the hub bearing, freeing it from the brake hoses and caliper.

Now, it is necessary to clean the mounting surface with a solvent, paying particular attention to the ABS sensor. After blowing away any residual impurities with a compressor, refit the bearing.

After tightening the nut, create a new notch on the nut to ensure it is secured. Now, with the hub cap refitted, you can reassemble the braking system.

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.
