I found the large water pump pliers before the pipe wrench. It worked fine adjusting all four of the shocks I installed this AM. It was jacked up and no load on them.

I bought a set of the Canadian replacements off of Chris. See posts on page 5-6 in: P500 - Product update COHV 3-2013 shock replacement

2017 has the adjustment on the front also.. thanks to your thread here, I tightened all of mine a notch. Also.. taking the wheel off wasn't necessary for me.

Using pliers or pipe wrench rather than a spanner wrench will really gouge up the adjuster. Of course I'm maybe just a little on the fussy side, as my P500 stays sitting in the storage building all covered up.
