To replace the rear brake pads, you first need the specific tool to rotate and retract the caliper piston; with that said, lift the vehicle (with the first gear engaged and the handbrake released) on suitable car stands and remove the rear wheel; then unscrew the caliper mounting bolts to remove it, extract the old pads, clean the surfaces with a wire brush, fit the new pads, retract the caliper piston using the specific tool, and refit the caliper.

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.
