I am having a problem adjusting my rear shock due to a clearance issue. I can not get my fingers far enough into the space to do any adjustment without removing the lower shock mount. Does anyone know of a tool ( could be 3d printed ) that might allow me to turn the wheels? It’s a fox shock.
Looks like something you could easily make a 3D printed tool for but I can’t see one online.
My first thought was can you reverse mount the shock?

Unfortunately not possible to reverse the shock. I was hoping someone or a mechanic had the same issue and found a solution.
To me it looks like the dials have small holes into which you can stick a small allen key?

The holes are for the set screws that hold the dials to the shafts . I might try to cut off a piece of Allen key or grind it down, and see if I can get it into the screw head. Might give me more leverage.
Push it with a cotton bud?
Btw, may I ask what frame that is?
If you can’t get access to a 3D printer or CAD design tools, could you maybe mould something up out of epoxy putty? e.g. this kinda shape:
Make up an L-shaped piece, then smoosh it over the knob to mimic the interface. (Cover the knob in a layer of foil or plastic wrap to stop it sticking)
Might be trickier to make a tool for the HSR knob, but some sort of cap over the LSR knob should work
The knobs look to me like you could “flip” them with a flat blade screwdriver. You could use a flat plastic pick to avoid scratching.
Another idea, at least for the outermost dial, is to see if a particular size of open end wrench fits diagonally across the “X” shape. Maybe a square drive socket of appropriate size would work too.
