Loosen the bottom one first (lock) and then adjust clockwise to raise and vice versa :smiley:

If they havn't been moved for a long time....lots of penetrating oil....swearing....and good luck needed. Heat may also help.

Penetrating oil, then wire brush, then more penetrating oil.

Heat on shock absorbers would need to be used VERY gingerly.
