You should have been supplied with one or two spanner wrenches to loosen the perch. That is what allows ride height adjustment.

It is hard to turn them. If you are trying to lower your car you will need to compress the spring, you willl have to put some muscle into it. At least that's what i did, maybe someone has a trick but i think you just have to try harder.
