like i said they lock together, so use a flathead to twist the bottom one downward and they will unlock, to lower the car lower the nuts, to raise the car, raise the nuts, looks like the colar isnt reverse threaded so righty tighty(up), lefty loosey(down)

Just turn them and see which way they go, up or down. It's pretty easy. Then tighten them back together when you get it where you want it.

BTW, you aren't going to hurt it. Just break it lose and turn them.

You turn the lower one to the left (down) by holding the upper one
when you do this , it will loosen up a bit , and then you can turn the upper one
until you loweredyour car as much as you wanted, and then you tight up the lower one back.

Correct me if i'm wrong guyz
