Yes, you'll need alot of penetrating spray, a thick bar and a heavy lump hammer.

patience and a decent space to work around the car if on a driveway. MK1's were torsion bar front and rear.

fronts are one per side so you need to adjust them equally then 1 (2) across the rear but easy to do in one go.

Remember that the rear heights are an approximation, due to the offset rear arms. Different wheelbase from left to right of the car.
