To replace the ignition barrel, first remove the screws holding the covers at the back of the steering wheel. Use a screwdriver and be patient to avoid breaking the plastic clips.

You may also need to remove the side plastics to make removal easier. The barrel won't come out immediately; insert a long, rigid object to pull it out, a thin screwdriver can also be used.

After that, you can pull out the old barrel without removing the housing. Next, insert the new ignition barrel and reassemble the plastics.

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.
