[QUOTE="Kev946, post: 459256, member: 19811"] Hi Alistair I just measured the jacking points when the van was level, (my drive is pretty level anyway), then worked out how much I needed to raise the rear. Remember to support the spring plate under the hub with a jack when you pull it off the stop as it is under compression. Also, you don't need to remove the brake pipes on an early bay, VW put a slot in to allow the whole hub to me moved out of the way without disconnecting any brakes. Here's the VW Resource link http://www.vw-resource.com/rearaxle.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; [/QUOTE]
