Wheel off... Use the C-Spanner to undo the bottom ring at the bottom of the springs to unlock the top ring, then move the top ring down to lower it, up to raise it.

When you've got it where you want it, move the bottom ring up to the top ring and tighten it up snug.

Use a tape measure to measure from the bottom of the damper to the bottom ring... Write this down and go do the same to the other wheel on that axle, making sure they're bot the same.

Refit wheels and torque up.

Check wheel bolt torque after 50 miles.

Something like that, anyway!

Oh, and don't drive far until you get the camber/tracking sorted!
