SOURCE: Do I need any special tools to replace the timing

u will need a 1/2" drive air impact gun and a compressor to run it to remove the crankshaft balancer.

SOURCE: oil consumption-1 Qt/1000 miles

Are you using the correct weight oil as outlined in your owner's manual. You car is unusual in that the specifications require you to use 10w40 oil when driving above −13 degrees fahrenheit. It also states that you are to use 5w20 when operating the vehicle in temperatures below 14 degrees fahrenheit. Then goes on to say not to be used for sustained high speed operation. So all in all the specifications for your vehicle are odd in that most vehicles today use 5w20 weight oil. I personally would use 10w40 or 10w30 weight in this engine as that would be appropriate for the vast majority of how and where you drive. If you are using a lighter weight oil that may be why it is using oil at this rate

Your basic brake tool set:

Task Tools
--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------
preventing sunburn sunscreen (SPF 35 or better) & baseball cap
protecting hearing while pounding w/hammer earplugs
jacking up car emergency jack in vehicle, or your own
removing caliper bolt metric socket set, with hex sockets, torx sockets
allen head sockets, incl. extensions
keeping tools off the ground cardboard pop trays (1 for tools, 1 for parts)
lubricating caliper bolt threads anti-seize paste
preventing scraped knees scrap cardboard sheet (small - about 2'x2')
misc. useful tools flashlight, small pry bar, 16 oz. hammer, hand sledge
phone number/open hours of local auto parts store
pry brake pads out of caliper small flathead screwdriver(s), medium screwdriver,
perhaps small pry bar (your classic "brake spoon")
torque spec. for caliper bolts maint. manual information below
hold caliper up out of the way large (10 inch or so) twist tie, or some copper wire

Materials needed:
silicone spray lube, paper towels, anti-seize compound

Here's what my online manual says about the 05 Tucson front disc brakes (it has disc brakes in the rear too):

Note that brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it'll absorb water from the atmosphere if exposed
to air, so minimize the amount of time that the Master Cylinder reservoir lid is loosened.
You'll note the the instructions below are sequenced to achieve this goal.

Note also that the only part of this manual entry specific to the 2005 Hyundai Tucson is the
torque spec of the caliper bolts - everything else applies to all cars/trucks/SUVs.

2005 Hyundai Tucson :
Front Disc Brakes - Removal & Installation

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.

2. Remove or disconnect the following:

Front wheel

Lower caliper mounting bolt and rotate the caliper upward

Suspend the caliper up out of your way by tying it up with the large twist tie onto the strut

Pads from the caliper support, gently pry with small flathead screwdriver, if necessary

Pad retainers, if necessary

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:

Pad retainers, if removed

Pads onto the pad retainers

(optional) grease the back of the pads/pad retainers with disc brake anti-squeak grease

2. open the top of the master cylinder reservoir, in case brake fluid needs to overflow out of the
master cylinder during the next step, which is compression of the brake caliper piston back
into the caliper body.

3. Protect/preserve the caliper piston boot(s) with silicone spray lube, before compressing the piston and its rubber boot back into the caliper.

4. Compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp (and a small plywood or particle board scrap
of wood over the end of the piston, to protect the end of the piston). This can, of course, also be done with a disc brake compression tool designed specifically for disc brake work.

5. Install the pads into the caliper, both the inboard pad and outboard pad.

6. Re-tighten the lid of the Master Cylinder reservoir.

7. Release the caliper from being held up by the large twist tie, and rotate the caliper downward onto both disc brake pads, and install the mounting bolts. Tighten to 16-24 ft. lbs. (22-32 Nm).

8. Install the wheel.

9. Repeat this procedure for the other wheel.

10. This final step important for Life Safety: Now that the brakes have been changed, the piston needs to be compressed by the mechanic so that the brakes work. Get into the driver's seat and pump the brakes in long even strokes until the brakes "catch" and present normal resistance to the press of the driver.
