Do you have a std or syncro?

I've changed my front springs in my 2wd Westy a number of times.
It is tedious, but easy. The trick is to get the front high enough so that the a-arm can drop free.

I have photos of the procedure if you are interested.
It is a great time to replace the suspension bushings while you are doing this.
