Nope, lossen the set screw alot and just turn by hand. Make sure the wheels are off and car is on jack stands. Worked for me about a month ago.

Mines would sometimes get stuck in place cause of dirt and ****, and i'd have to remove that screw entirely, use a flat head to open it up a bit and gorilla force that sucker to move.

Mine used to do that, it was a bitch. Luckily I found a coilover wrech tool that came with some cheap coilovers I bought a long time ago.

I had to use 2 pipe wrenches on mine recently, WD40 and alot of patience. I have had them for like 5yrs now and never adjusted the ride height.

I don't know...they just came with a set of cheap coilovers I bought a long time ago. I ditched the coilovers and kept the wrenches.
