How do you do this? I know you turn the collar but are there any tricks to doing this? Like turn them both at the same time? Loosen the top on and tighten the bottom then tighten the top? I cant seem to get them to spin. There impossible to spin. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

get the wieght off the rear end first,,but the easiest way is to take the rear shock off,,then it's a piece of cake..

Beat on it w/ the ole hammer and long crappy screwdriver in the nothces. A guy on the otherside pushing w/ another screwdriver helps it move a little faster. Takes 15 minutes or so. A little lubricant will help on the threads before you start too.

Well i have a spanner wrench from motion pro. It doesnt fit perfectly but its better then the screwdriver. How far down should i screw it? I weigh 230.

Go down about three eights to a half inch and ride it. You can never get those spanner wrench's in tight spots. They make good knuckle breakers though. :(
