To replace the front brake pads, lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the front wheel. Disconnect the wear sensor plug, remove the protective caps from the mounting pins of the brake caliper to the support, and unscrew them to remove the caliper from the support.

Next, take out the old pads, retract the caliper piston using a pair of locking pliers, fit the new pads, and remount the caliper by tightening the relevant mounting pins and reconnecting the wear sensor plug. Be cautious during the first braking.

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.
