    Not real sure but it seems what u'r refering to is just to set the travel of the springs. It will not lower anything it will only give ur spring more travel resulting a softer ride, too soft if it's just you, you'll be bouncing all over at the slightest bump.
    Btw put ur bike in ur signature so we know what bike ur talking about.

    The correct tool is a simple bar with a slight curve and a little hook at the tip. You could use a big Vice-Grip or pipe wrench and a rag, or just Man-up and grab it with both hands, pull and turn.
