Well I am trying to adjust the shocks per: the discussion in here on "shock setting ends here" I have all of the compression and rebound adjustments done, I adjusted them to full hard then backed off a quarter turn.

BUT.....I cant get the spring lock nuts to come loose. I do have a spanner wrench and I yanked on it pretty hard but it wont loosen up, am I doing something wrong? Perhaps im a weenie!

I weigh 182 and am 6'1", so I hope this is a good setting, if I can get the lock nuts loose so I can put them at 3 threads from the top.

any help would be appreciated

Trout.

Yeah counterclockwise loosens them :D

All else fails get a screw driver and a hammer and pound it loose.

Well its true...........I AM A WEENIE!

I finally got it just took a little elbow grease!

Now any suggestions on getting to the rear shock threads?
I cant get my hands in there.

I just wanted to point out that you should loosen the top one first, then move the lower one up to it.

This is just in case somebody is trying to turn them both at the same time, which would most likely make it a little harder to move.
