Lift the vehicle and secure it. Remove the wheel and gently detach the caliper by removing the two retaining bolts with a ratchet spanner. Remove the worn pads and replace them with two new ones of the same type, cleaning any dirt with a brush before installation.

Refit the bracket, cleaning and lubricating the fixing bolts, then tighten them with a spanner. Reattach the caliper.

The pad with the electrical contacts must be mounted facing inwards, paying attention to the direction of travel. Realign the piston by pushing it inwards and check the adherence of the pads to the disc.

Also check the brake fluid level.

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.
