Spring Wrench
Is there a wrench that I should use to turn up my rear springs. It seems really hard to do by hand. I bought my wheeler used so I didnt get anything.

Welcome!
When I turned my springs up, I removed the tire, sprayed the adjuster with wd 40, let it sit a few minutes, then I used a pair of large channellock pliers. Watch that you grip the adjuster at the proper place(just under the spring, not where the slots are). By having the suspension at full extension will help a lot!!

Do what racer says with wd-40 and jacking up the machine.
My channellocks weren't quite big enough & had to use a pipe
wrench the first time.
I came across a Fram filter wrench at WalMart that looked like it
would work, it does and for about $5.00.

I just did the suspension adjustment tonight. Removed the tire sprayed th e shocks with wd40 and used channel locks to adjust. Mine have never been adusted so it took a little torque to get them to move initially. My question would be how do you get them back down after you turn them up. Doesn't look like it would be very easy.
