how to adjust front shocks

[debo]

whats the easiest way to adjust the nut on top of the fron shocks a want to lower it so the nut needs to go up is there a special tool or what thanx.

there is a shock wrench but what i do is jack the front end up to take pressure of shocks then use a screw driver and a hammer and tap the top nut till its loose they you should be able to turn both nuts by hand:macho or a big pair of channel locks would work but will most likely chew up the nut.

thats what i figured i used the screwdriver an hammer but it was real tight but i think ill pass onm the channel locks thanx

easyest way i found was loosen the top nut and then you can just hand turn the spring to lower it

A hammer and screwdriver will really jack the spanner nuts up if they are to tight or beat on. This is what I use (same size as the coil overs on the back of my hotrod...go figure) Works great and super cheap.
