To replace the gas struts on the boot of a Toyota Yaris, open the tailgate and secure it to prevent it from lowering while you work on the struts. You will need to loosen the bolts that secure the strut to the body, near the seal.

Perform the same operation to remove the bolts that secure the strut to the inside of the tailgate. Once all the bolts are removed, you can slide out the piston and replace it with a new spare part.

The procedure is similar on the other side; after installation, you can close the tailgate and check the proper functioning of the system.

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.
