Default How to adjust bump/compression on KW Varaint 3

I want to adjust bump on my KWV3's but I cant figure out how. I know it is at the bottom of the damper but I have no idea how it can be done when the damper is installed. It looks like the damper must be un-installed to adjust bump (I only checked the rear so far). If anybody can help, I would appreciate this. Also, is the Allen wrench used or is the pin tool used?















In other news...
I started another thread about the settings and this is what I will do with my setup:
Increase bump in rear by 1/4-5/8 turn (and maybe Increase rebound by 1/8 turn)
Increase bump in front by 1/8 (and maybe increase rebound the same)

My tire stagger still remains the same at 225 f and 285 r. Supposed UK alignment and rear BSK.

I will go to a closed off parking lot and do some "testing" once I figure out how to adjust bump only to gauge the amount of understeer I will encounter with my stagger and how to minimize it. I currently have the damper under factory settings and I personally think the car has WAY too much sway.

At the bottom of the round section of the shock, there is a plastic cover. Rotate that cover around the shock and it will reveal a small opening on the inboard side of the shock. Inside that opening is a shaft with holes drilled through it. You use stick the pin tool in the holes and turn the shaft.
