1 lowest.
5 highest.
So 4 clicks in between.
If you can't get them to go back get a little tougher they will go cooldude

Use the supplied tool kit withe the bike. The wrench and the extension.

No kit, borrow from another rider.

Someone lifting the rear while turning. Not hard, just a little support.

I believe they only go one direction, ie. from 1-4 (5?) and then start over.  I tried to move mine from 5 to 3 and broke the shock off at the bottom bolt.  Ending up buying Progressives, which have been great, but did not need to spend the $500.  Oh, I used a cheater pipe on the shock tool and lots of torque.
