How do you adjust the rear toe?

A picture of the adjuster arm would really help if anyone has one.
The other question is will it get messed with when I pull out the rear shock and the upper control arm, or do I need to independently mess with it. I'm just trying to figure out where everything is to do a quick alignment when I dump my coilovers in. Yes I'm getting it done right as well, but I need to get the rears set close to final because I'm going to have tire/fender clearance issues.

Roy is an unknown quantity at this point

if you look at the rear of the car, the lower control arm. at the point where it connects to the knuckle, that is where you adjust the toe, has the nut with a loob on it with the locking nut in front of it. if you pull the struts out, it will change your settings a lil bit. what i did just the other day was set up 2 jack stands and tied a string to both. set it parallel with the car, and measure the front and rear parts of the tire's side wall. the difference is either your toe out or in. adjust accordingly by turning that loob. hope this helps.
