Early Front Clip Removal?

I've done it ROUGH ground many times. A 6' Pinch Bar works wonders, as well.as a Solid Bro
Me too, that's why I quickly recommended a smooth surface:) 10-4 on the 6' pinch bar and Solid Bro. Lifting the rear of the car a couple of feet higher than the front helps a lot too. Engine room is a tad narrower on the early A, otherwise it's the same fairly easy job early or late.
