Right - Today I had a shot at replacing my rear springs on my 92 Range Rover Classic. It has the self levelling unit and anti-roll bars. Now I've done this job a few times on my 110 without issue (other than the normal seized bolts etc). On the 110 I simply jack it up one one side then support the chassis, disconnect the shocker and lower the rear axle on the side I want to change with a jack. The axle will drop to the floor if I let it. This gives me plenty of room to remove the spring with ease. The Range Rover is a different story. I did the same however the axle just doesn't want to drop anywhere near enough for me to remove the spring.
Can anyone give me any tips on this? What is likely to be stopping the axle dropping? The self levelling unit or the anti-roll bar? Or both?
