Stocks tightened too hard from factory

[Rowe]

Hi,

I thought it would be a good idea to look at fluid level in the shocks, watched the video how to open etc. Now the top cap does not Come off easy as in the video i Needed tools to get it off, then as in the video i tried to open them with the nice built way of completely pressie it in, they are so tightly screwed on all the plastic small bits to open them broke off, is it normal they are tightened so hard they can not be openen, is there another way to open them? I am now scared to even try another one and feel i now have 1 impossible to open shock already

anyway, if the plastic tooth broke, you can use the red tool you've got with the car, it has the bits to open the bottom cap as well.
