I need to replace my front springs but can't see how to do it.

Any advice please?

All in the Bentley - copy of which you should have by now!

Or even a Haynes

Hint:

Vanagon Bentley Manual link

And dont forget to put a crash helmet on!

Think I am going to get a nut splitter.

Once that is done, I assume the shock will drop down? Is sliding a new one and all the top fittings back up through the spring difficult?

I had a hell of a time.. In the end through sheer frustration I donned protective kit and a grinder..
Went about 60% through, then hit it with a sledge hammer..

Cripes!
