Pets,
Doesn't sound like you have the adjustables, at least not any I've seen - the usual Koni adjustable struts have a small blade-like adjuster that protrudes from the top of the shaft.
Some strut/inserts take an allen wrench to hold the shaft so the retaining nut can be tightened - that sounds more like what you're describing.
Maybe someone else has seen adjustables that take a hex tool?

You have the early Koni adjustables - they must be removed and adjusted. The Allen on top is simply to hold the shaft while torquing the top nut. For more info, try here:
