Not at all. Just make sure the parking brake is fully released. Remove the lower shock bolt. It helps to have a helper to push down with his foot on the drum while you turn and position the spring to come out or go back. If it is a diesel Vanagon you may need to loosen the CV bolts a few turns at the tranny flange. This can help in all vans if the springs are longer than stock.
