Default yea, it would be almost impossible to do it while they are on.
Once they are off...there is an O ring sort of deal, except its not a complete "O" shape...there is about a centimeter gap or so. If you grab the edge of that with some needle nose plyers, you can pull it from one notch, and move it to the next notch. Does that make sense? It will if you are looking at the shock.
