This video shows us how to remove and replace the brake discs on our car. First, lift the car using a lift and remove the wheels to access the brake discs. Remove the bracket that secures the brake pads to the calipers; use a screwdriver to pry between the brake disc and the pads to retract the caliper pistons, then remove the brake pads.

Unscrew the bolts that anchor the brake caliper to the mounting bracket and remove the brake caliper. Finally, remove the three bolts securing the brake disc and take it out, replacing it with a new 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.
