Open the front bonnet and locate the fuel filter: it is situated at the front left (when facing the engine bay), in front of the coolant reservoir. Use pliers to widen the clips on the hoses connected to the filter (the front ones, closest to the wing) and disconnect them; remove the retaining pin from the other two hoses and slide them off. Loosen the retaining clip of the filter and remove it. Fill the new filter with additive: this will facilitate starting and clean the entire injection system.

Replace the O-ring and lubricate it, insert the filter into its housing, and reconnect the hoses, securing them with the respective clips and pins.

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.
