Default New front GAZ shock adjuster stuck

Hi. I have a stuck bump and rebound adjuster on one of my new front GAZ shocks. It is a common thing and is there a gentle way, or a way at all of getting it working ?

SOLVED. Thanks for all the replies . After a bit of reading it is advised to hit the flat face of the adjuster with a hammer (lightly) as the dial can dislodge from whatever is behind it in transit or general bumping. I generally don't like to just hit things with a hammer to solve things (well I do actually..) but as it turns out it works. In my case I used a shifter as it is flatter and can fit between the spring to get a hit on it and whalaaa it worked. I now have around 14 odd clicks on the adjuster.
