Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the rear wheel. Then, remove the caliper by unscrewing the fixing pins from the support.

Extract the old pads and also remove the caliper support. Unscrew the disc fixing screw from the hub and give the disc a few taps with a hammer to free it from the hub. Proceed in reverse for reassembly, first cleaning the disc seating on the hub and applying grease, then place the disc on the hub and secure it with the respective screw.

Next, move to the caliper support, insert the pads, and then secure the caliper to the support.

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.
