Let's see how to replace the service belt on a Renault Clio III: lift the car by placing it on safety stands; remove the front wheels and unscrew the bolts of the fuel filter bracket, which we will move without disconnecting the pipes. If there are engine protections, remove them.

Now loosen the tension of the belt tensioner, using a fork wrench. Before removing the belt from the pulleys, take a photo to remember the exact position of the belt; it will help us for reassembly.

Now reassemble the new belt by tensioning it with the help of the tensioner: check the correct tension; in fact, the belt should have about 1/1.5 cm of play by pressing in the center of the longest stretch, so it should be tight, but not excessively.

Reassemble the fuel filter bracket, reattach any protections, lower the vehicle and tighten the wheel bolts.

Do a test with the engine running to check that the engine does not have excessive vibrations.

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.
