My Tokico D-Specs came with no instructions. Where do I stick the little tool to adjust them?

I look at the rear shock and there is like a cap, i screw that off....and then a hollow stud remains. Where do I stick the tool?

It seems as if they almost sent me the wrong shocks, but yet they say D-Spec on them.

I am just a little confused, didn't spend much time looking but from what I saw...I cant figure it out.

There is red tags on the end of each piece, but I see no "hole" as to where the tool is to slide in!

The tool goes in the hole where you remove the caps.

Ok, i will have to check it out again when I go home next, I looked in the hole and there was some sort of grease. I figured maybe I better just put the cap back on, and I did.

CT material? Guess I am unaware of what CT means.

The grease is just to keep it from rusting out and keep everything turning smooth. You're in the right place.

CT=Custom Title
It's the title under your member name.

Ok, thank you. Can I mess around with it while its not on the vehicle? I stick it in, then clockwise unitl it stops? Then back counter clockwise a few turns to make softer?

I think that is what I read when searching around...

I really don't want to blow a seal or mess the internals up

You tighten the tool down untill finger tight and then back it off a certain number of turns. Seven full turns back is full soft. Don't go past that. I think you'll find that two turns back is pretty close to the stock dampers.
