To replace the timing belt on a Toyota RAV 4, you need to remove the engine from its bay to access the left side of the engine block. Here, remove the plastic panel under which the pulleys and the timing belt are located: by loosening the nut that secures the tensioner pulley, you can reduce its tension and completely remove it, replacing it with a new part.

Then, reinsert the tensioner pulley, the protective panel, and reinstall the engine in its bay.

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.
