Video tutorial

This video demonstrates the removal and replacement of a worn rear suspension on a Toyota Yaris. First, lift the vehicle on a jack and secure it (wooden chocks were used in the video).

Next, remove the rear wheel. Using an 18 mm socket, undo the lower bolt of the shock absorber.

Further lift the jack and proceed to remove the suspension: in this case, it is literally pulled out by hand. A new one is then taken and compared with the old one before being placed on the old seals (if still in good condition).

At this point, align (using the jack) and secure the shock absorber again. Finally, refit the wheel as before.

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.
