you don't need a know for those, but do need something like a small alan wrench. Can't precisely remember what size though.

What shocks do you have for the rears?

2.5mm allen wrench will fit to adjust the shocks.

Either one will work (if it will fit), the bent (short) end of the allen wrench sometimes makes it easier to get around the coils of the springs, that's why many of us use those.

If I may add one thing here. Whatever you use, make sure it's strong enough not to break off, and at the same time, don't force the adjuster.

Not trying to insult anyone's intelligence but there are instances where people around this forum start "hacking away" without considering what irreversible damage could result. Just trying to save a good owner from horrible experience.

That's why allen wrenches are suggested. They are hardened and typically don't break off in the hole (and fit loose enough to come out of there if they do).

But they ARE particularly fun to try to fish out if you happen to drop it between the shock body and the coils...
