[QUOTE="FIREBALL, post: 16078605, member: 178539"] The front Ds are easy to adjust but the rears are hard. You have to remove the side covers like when your replacing the shock to adjust them. But I got around that by carefully cutting 1" round holes through the cover over the top of the shock and then use female threaded couplers to extend the top of the Ds adjuster housing. I had to buy a longer allen wrench to adjust the backs. I dont remember the couplers size off hand but they were either 5/16 or 3/8 x1" . I then used a short bolt with a rubber o ring on it to seal of the top of the coupler hand tight. This might sound complicated but it really isnt. The hardest part was locating the exact spot over the shock to cut the hole and the covers arent quite the same on each side which made it harder. Be careful cutting hole as the covers are brittle and will crack.-----So you end up with just having to remove the bolt by hand and stick the allen wrench down in for adjustment and then replace the bolt----no removing covers. I think the Ds are the best of both worlds. Forgot to mention I used a longer bolt on one side with one or two nuts screwed on as a spacer because one side the cover is higher up, the only other way would be to find a longer coupler. [/QUOTE]
