There are 2 eccentric bolts on the back, one on the toe arm, and one on the lower control arm (coffin arm), that is the one to loosen to lower the strut. However, since you are just dropping it about 2 inches, I bet it it will all drop that much just from the weight of the wheel hanging. If not, then go under and loosen it.

I did all 4 of my struts with no torque wrench, just box wrench and Allen socket on a 3/8 breaker bar and just made it nice and tight. It was with with the springs compressed. With the wheel hanging you will be working against the spring, if you can fit a spring compressor in the wheel well and compress the spring you will have an easier time tightening.
