I am fairly sure that clockwise is to make them firmer.

I "think" you need to fully remove them to be able to reach the top of the shocks. It might be possible adjusting them still with the topmount fitted but tbh, I haven't tried it yet.

no mate, dont remove the whole shock. just support the trailing arm with a jack and undo the bottom. once thats done, pull the dirt cover down and you should be able to get to the button.

Just push the button in and turn the shock to adjust. cant remember which way though.
