If the front hub bearing is damaged, you will hear noise coming from the wheel (especially when turning), and if the damage is significant, the wheel may have play, compromising steering safety. To replace this bearing, lift the vehicle, remove the wheel, the complete brake caliper with its support, and the central nut securing the driveshaft to extract it; also remove the brake disc and the bolts securing the wishbone to the hub: at this point, you can complete the removal of the hub carrier from its support.

Proceed in reverse for the installation of the new hub complete with bearing.

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.
