On the Tucson it is quite easy..... have changed 2 on my 2005 Tucson.....do it in this sequence and you shouldn't have any problems 1st disconnect both cables on the battery then do it 2nd remove serpentine belt... 3rd jack up the car at least where the tire is at least 4 inches off the ground.. 4th remove tire.. 5th remove inner splash guard.... 6th remove brake riser bracket... (2 bolts)... 7th remove upper bolt on alt... 8th remove upper alt bracket (2 bolts)....9th this is the hard one remove the lower bolt on the alt.... the bolt cannot be removed the lower mount actually drops into the mount.... it lifts up.... disconnect both cables one snaps in the other bolts on reverse the order and you can have it done in less than 2 hrs total time

You'll probably have to get to it from under the car or through the wheelwell.

SOURCE: changing the alternator on 1999 miata

The alternator is held on by two bolts. The top bolt is part of the tensioner, which uses, thankfully, an old style bolt system to tension a separate alternator belt. Once you remove the top bolt the tensioner can be removed by sliding it towards the rear of the car through the slot it sits in. The bottom bolt has fallen prey to what I consider an engineering oversite. The bolt threads out towards the back of the engine, and because of this, you have to remove the stiffening arm that sits right behind this bolt. Fortunately, the stiffening arm is held on by three bolts, all of which are easy to get to. Once this arm is out of the way you can remove the bottom bolt.

Hi how are u doing how could i replace front brakes on my 2006 hyundia tucson thanks

Jack up vehicle, remove wheel, take out bolts holding caliper on. Push piston of caliper in all the way with screwdriver or pry bar. Remove caliper, only doing one at a time as to not push piston of opposite caliper out. Pull caliper out of position, remove and replace brake pads. Install and bolt on caliper, repeat steps for other side. Pump up brakes to get pads against rotors, put wheels on and take for test drive.

My 2005 sienna does not have a serpentine belt. it has two belt system. what is the easiest way to remove and replace these belts. i have changed belts on motors the face the front but not the side

The alternator belt can be changed from the top, the ps belt is best done from the bottom with the tire removed.
The alternator should have an adjusting bolt and the ps has an adjusting bracket. You loosen the bolts for the alternator and ps pump then use the adjusting bolts to tighten the new belts.

My hyundia tucson keep cuting off when i drive the jeep and i have to stop it cut off any time i stop it cut off and when my foot on the brake it move when myfoot is on brake

If the vehicle is stalling when coming to a stop or slowing, look at your throttle position sensor on the throttle body. it is small, almost a box with 2 phillips head screws(not the sensor with hex head bolts, right behind it). If it is grey in color, change it.
