KW V3 rear adjuster question, possibly seized?

Hi, those of you with KW V3 coilovers i cant adjust the bump on the rear shocks, do you need to take the load off the shocks before adjusting? or are they as i suspect seized up. I've cleaned out all the dirt, and sprayed a lot of GT85 onto them but no luck so far. Rebound adjust on the top is fine.
 
No you don’t need to take the load off. They will be locked up no doubt

You can send them off for a rebuild if you can’t free them off.
 
Ok cool wishful thinking, they haven’t been adjusted in over 8 years so probably rebuild is the only option then
 
Managed to free off the rear adjusters, was a lot of dirt packed in around the knob. So liberal amounts of gt85 and a pick got it out, then a blast of shock spray with some gentle back and forth with grips and I have bump adjustment again.

My spine is grateful!
