I am trying to lower the front of my car and the adjustment screw is not enough so I need to re-clock the cap.
I am having trouble getting the cap off are there any tricks to this?
Is there any special trick to keeping each side even?
I also will need a four corner balance and alignment.
Is there any reputable shop in the central cal area that can do this?

Hey Kelly,
There is nothing secret about pulling that adjuster out. Pull the actual adjuster screw all the way out/off and stick a small prybar (read that: screw driver) into the slot where you pulled the adjuster screw out and pry towards the back of the car. I reclock them all the time. With the suspension in full droop (car on stands) pay attention to where the adjusters "come from" (their starting location) and reclock them. I normally have to move them down to get the car lower.
Sorry I dont have a pick of this.

Thanks Brad I they ended up coming loose they were just stuck with old dried grease.
So to set ride height I should jack the A-arm up so it is even with the ground and grease an reinstall the cap right?
