Default Coilover damping adjustment

Hi, can some one teach me how to adjust the damping by hand when the coilovers are already installed on your cars(special tools?)? Do we adjust it throw engine bay for the front?(totally no idea for the rear) But the 3GS engine bay is actually very well covered so just wondering how you guys adjust it without stuffs like TEAS for Tanabe Sustec and EDFC for Teins. Or take the whole things off the car and adjust it Provide photos will be very glad.

in the engine bay, both sides are covered, but actually if you look from the engine side, you should be able to see the strut tower. center of it should be the dampening adjustment. very simple

for the rear, it's in the trunk behind the lining. just reach for the back of the trunk and pull the lining from both sides. you can then feel and locate the strut tower
