help,
i cant get the d-spec key to fully insert into the right rear shock. seems to ride 2-3mm higher than the other corners.
it won't twist with hand pressure,
using vise-grips on the key, it will loosen a little, and then maybe 1.5-2 revolutions of difficult hand twisting (towards softer) can be achieved, and then that is all.

i have NEVER backed it out to 7 turns from "full-hard".
i have never driven without the metal dust cap on it.
it is basically stuck in the "full-hard" position,
i had run all four corners on "full-hard", for several months.

the other three loosen up just fine, and the key sits down further in the hole (2-3mm lower).

thoughts?
doc
