I do the same as Bottoms, but with the spanner wrench. Key is getting the weight off the suspension components, makes it a lot easier.

I got my wrenches off EBay, but your dealer should also have them..
MOTION PRO SINGLE SHOCK SPANNER WRENCH STEEL ATV | eBay
Once you get the wrench, raise ATV, remove that tire, adjust the shock...

I never thought of trying an oil filter wrench...I'll have to see if I have one that would fit...
CW-Jackman PowerSports is great....I didn't buy my new 500 from there and I SERIOUSLY REGRET it! The guys at JPS give the best deals and have the best service!
