I did mine in my driveway with some regular ramps. My van is lifted so that
helps.

I recommend a big sheet of cardboard. Makes it easy to slide around on
getting under the van etc.

There is not much I have not done on five different Vanagon over the years,
ranging from Waterboxer and diesel rebuilds to complete suspension rework
to everything else you can name, except for one... radiator replacement. My
new Bus Depot radiator arrived today. Anybody want to let me in on the best
way to replace it? Looking for hard facts. How high does the front end need
to be, what to do in what order? How long did it take you?

Thanks,

Jim
