Tricks to getting to KWv3 rear bump adjusters?

Segfault · Oct 12, 2009, 10:24 PM

So I did some initial setup when installing my KWs thinking that I could get through those small holes in the trunk with my hand and an allen wrench later...I was wrong. I wanted to test and tune from 50% during auto-x. So what tricks/tactics do you guys do to reach them?

Try a taller allen key it might work, glad that I went with an electronic controller

you mean for rear rebound? (inside the car..) use a flexible shank w/ 2mm head

for under the car bump adjustment, a slightly angled pick works well

Yeah the rebound on the top of the strut. Never heard of a flexible shank. Thanks for the advice, I'll check it out. At this point, if I can cut a 2mm allen wrench and jam it in there...it's staying there XD

Cut the allen wrench about an inch then insert/glue it into a rounded object to serve as the head/handle to turn the allen wrench. Make sure it fits the small space by using your two fingers to turn.
Its PITA to adjust it so make sure you adjust it correctly the first time. GL!
