The smaller one loosens easy but the larger one is extremely hard to move up.
Is there something im possibly doing wrong?
Koni CO's btw

Yes. That's the one which the force of the spring and weight of the car is exerted on.
It's gonna be hard to turn it especially if you're trying to raise it because you're fighting the force of the spring. You may have to get a spring compressor to help take some of the tension off the perch if you're really stuck.

be careful... mine got so tight it started stripping the thread.... im thinking about putting a
bearing disc in there like we do on the motorcycles. spin right up with ease. make sure you clean all the dirt and **** off of them too, so it doesnt mess up with the threads.
