To remove the front shock absorber, lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift, remove the front wheel, free the hub from the suspension wishbone ball joint and the steering rack tie rod. Then, remove the brake caliper along with its bracket, extract the driveshaft from the hub, and disconnect the strut bar to completely free the hub support to which the shock absorber is attached.

Finally, access the engine bay to remove the mounting bolts of the shock absorber support from the body strut tower and complete the disassembly: the shock absorber will come out along with the hub support and the brake disc.

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.
