[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 643117, member: 20098"] Just to throw another option in there from my experience, if the leaves have been properly pre-loaded then with the van off the ground, the top springs will be trying to push the trailing arms down, and the bottom leaves will be pushing upwards. With this in mind, you can take the tension off the top leaves by jacking up the lower trailing arms and then remove the adjuster. Then the lower adjuster can be removed once you’ve removed the jack(s) from the lower arms. Adjust and refit the lower adjuster as required, and then do the reverse steps to refit the top adjuster. All this can be done without dismantling any ball joints, but care does need to be taken when removing the first adjuster in case it is still under tension. [/QUOTE]
