Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to change the battery of the Skoda Octavia III: to remove the old battery, we use a 13mm socket wrench to unscrew the bolt of the metal support plate, and then remove it. First, disconnect the negative terminal (black cable) with a 10mm wrench, then move it to prevent accidental reconnection; repeat for the positive red terminal.

Now we remove the old battery.

Clean the terminals with fine sandpaper to remove any oxide and apply copper grease to prevent future oxidation. Place the new battery, connect the positive terminal first, then the negative one, put back the plastic cap and the support plate, screwing the bolt tightly.

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.
