	You shouldn't have to remove anything, it should just turn.

	ok, doesnt seem to want to, im reluctant to use a tool on it. just wondered if you need the weight off the rear or anything?

	The adjustment seizes over the years. I suggest you get the shock serviced. I had my ohlins shock serviced by BG Motorsport a ohlins agent. I sent the shock to them and the shock was back in a week.they are based in silverstone. It cost £200 all in , new seals , fluid and re gassed. Excellent service imho. (There are shock services on ebay, but they don't use the expensive ohlins oil !)

	could well be it then, ive not had it long and the previous owner didnt take great care of it. im just working round it to get everything sorted. so thats probably a good idea.

	MCT suspension are also worth a shout. I had my Ohlins shock serviced by them in the winter and my spring powder coated for £193 all in.
