The prizes for the correct answer go Bruce Giller and Jim Butler, even though this was not a contest. What I failed to see, partially because it was filled with a cardboard plug, was the 5 mm Allen wrench hole in the top of the rod. Thank you both. And, Bruce, what search engine did you used to find the site you listed? I searched through many pages and never found your clue. Thanks again both of you, and others for suggestions that also would have worked. For those of you who have never had to deal with rear shocks on the GTV-6, here is the tiny access hole you must work through.
Approximately 3"x2.5". Regards, Bruce Sharer In a message dated 6/11/2012 9:21:40 P.M.

Other shocks I've used have had a pair of flat spots that would fit a small standard wrench. It doesn't take much torque to get as tight as they need to be.
