Remove the front wheels and start by disconnecting the outer retaining spring on the caliper. Remove the protective caps from the caliper mounting pins and unscrew them to detach the caliper from its bracket.

Compress the caliper piston using a channel lock pliers. Remove the caliper bracket and the disc mounting bolt from the hub. Clean the new disc of any protective oil residue, brush and lubricate the caliper bracket, caliper mounting pins, and the disc seat on the hub. Proceed with installing the new disc, the caliper bracket, insert the new pads, and finally attach the caliper while applying the spring.

Before driving, pump the brake pedal and check the oil level in the reservoir.

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.
