Quick question guys, I bought my 2.5 dsc through you guys, love the ride, but now I noticed couple adjuster seemed to seized, I don't dare to use brute force, how can I get them to move and what can I use to keep them from seizing? I rinse my truck at least once a week during winter to keep salt off, and there's no corrosion on the adjusters.

 

They are likely not seized just a bit difficult to turn by hand. Sometimes its also hard to get a good grip on them depending on where they are mounted on the vehicle. They should have been all the way open when shipped out from us, so keep that in mind. Usually once you get that first turn on the high speed knob, the next few clicks go easier. Since the edges on the knob can be a little on the sharp side, you may want to grab a towel or rag to get a better grip on there. I don't recommend using a wrench or anything like that, too much force could damge some of the internal parts. Last link above shows how the knobs are assembled if you are curious.

 

I've had them get seized or harder to turn with mud and dirt on a previous fox setup. I had to remove the mounting screws, clean everything, and reassemble. Any lube and they'd attract dirt and get gummed up again. Was kind of just a fact of life in muddy environments with this design. Wash them well after muddy travel, but it made it inconvenient to change on the fly during trips.

 

can you remove the knobs to clean? its not so muddy here as more just dusty, I rinse the truck well and throughly but yea, I was debating using a wrench to turn it but figure with my luck I'll break something.

 

It's not something I can recommend doing, but if you take a look at this article, you can make your own choice:
