Elka compression adjuster disassebly problems?

I'm looking for advice on servicing an elka compression adjuster assembly that is not functioning properly and is being very stubborn in disassembly. Can any shock gurus out there give any advice on what the proper order for disassebly is and any tips on how ot free extremely siezed /parts? I haven't seen one stuck quite this bad before on such a new shock. It is the standard hi/lo comp adjuster on a remote rezzi rear atv shock. Do you generally remove the whole adjuster as a unit first or do you disassemble the low speed , then high speed with the main cartridge still installed?

You should be able to just loosen the set screw first to remove the low speed and high speed knobs. A snap ring will hold the entire adjuster into the shock. You will have to release your nitrogen to get it out though.
