Here’s how to change the front brake discs on a Volkswagen Golf V. First, lift the vehicle; do not rely on your jack, use a hydraulic jack and two axle stands. Remove the front wheels and place them under the vehicle.

Remove the bolts from the back of the brake calipers; secure the calipers so they do not fall. Using a Torx T30, remove the worn disc from the wheel hub and replace it. Refit the new one. Reposition the caliper by putting back the bolts removed earlier.

Refit the wheel and repeat the process on the other side.

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.
