[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 947026, member: 14773"] The rebound adjuster should be easy to adjust with your fingers. The resistance should be constant until you're at the last one, then it will obviously become more diffident to increase the rebound and that's when you should stop. If you need or use a tool, you're applying too much force and run the risk of damaging the needle's seat inside the shock. At this point you may need a new shock. Don't confuse the preload and rebound adjusters. Most shocks need some sort of tool to adjust the preload, as it turns the collar against the (usually hefty) spring force. There are usually like special wrenches. Shocks which use a tool to adjust damping (rebound or compression) are usually screwdrivers or allen wrenches, and they should twist very easily (i.e. not much force it required). [/QUOTE]
