Can't adjust rear shocks on HKS coilovers. Seems stuck

I can make complete turns from SOFT to FIRM on the front shocks using the hex tool that comes with the coilovers.

However, in the rear I put in the hex tool and turn. It's either stuck and won't move. Other times, it will turn but I don't hear any clicks to confirm it's adjusting.

What to do?
 
Sounds like it's time for a rebuild. How old and how much mileage on the coilovers? My rear Tein RAs had the same symptoms after 100,000 miles on them.

Not sure bought them used of a member here. So obviously no sprays will loosen up the hex adjustment area?
 
there should be very little force needed to turn the adjustment screw.

Yeah, I know, thanks. So rebuild is the only way to go? It was fine in November before the car was put away. Ever since I brought it out this happened.
