Sure its tough- the weight of that corner of the car is bearing down on it. 
You can try 3 methods; 
1)- add a touch of grease between the washer and the adjusting nut to cut 
friction. 
2- add a needle thrust bearing in place of the washer (Speedway Motors sells 
them)
3)- lean on the wrench!

Note that in #1 and 2 above, the setting will also change more easily when 
you hit a bump, so really tighten up the jam nut or whatever Aldan uses nowadays 
to lock the adjustment. Note that Speedway also sells spanner wrenches to fit 
most coil-overs. Good luck- J Deryke
