Rear preload adjustment

[86LG4T5]

I adjusted the front suspension per the user's manual and cycle world magazine's recommended setting. But the service manual doesn't say how to adjust the rear spring preload. I've got that gigantic spanner wrench that came with the tool kit, but it's way too big for that little coilover. Anybody got a pic or something of how this works??

Triumph wants you to have the dealer adjust the rear.

But you can buy the spanner you need, or an adjustable one that works for many sizes.

So what's the giant spanner in the tool kit for? It's like 6 inches across...

Use a screwdriver on the collars and a hammer on the end of the screwdriver.

+1 Never force anything. Get a bigger hammer.
