no, you dont have to take them off. theyre very easy to adjust, at the very top, you add the red adjusters.

didnt you get the little red adjusters?

center of the page, that's what the top of your shocks should look like. If you bought the shocks new the red peices came in a small black plastic box.

if you don't have them, call up tokico, they will send you a set.

any way to adjust them without those adjusters, any tool that will fit in there? Ive tried looking in there to see what I'm spinning but cant see it.

it's a small pin type rod that you'd have to grab with a pair of needle nose pliers but I'd seriously suggest not going in there with them, it would be easy to twist it wrong and break it off.
Call tokico, they'll send you a set for nothing. You're only a day or two away from doing it right.
