I will also verify this. One Circlip and presto pull back and you are home
free....The only thing that I would suggest is that you take pictures as
you go along and catalog your progress. The pictures can also help as a way
to compare your work as you go along.

I have not done the front suspension on a vanagon YET, but with the
scirocco it was helpful.

HTH,
