Bogus Collision Repair on my 07

In 2012 I was in a crash with my 07 Odyssey and the shop that did the insurance repair did a few things wrong. The worst problem is they left me with the front of the van WAY TOO LOW. Anything higher 2 inches and the front bumper assembly banged and scraped until it's falling off. As it now sets, I can't even get the smallest hydraulic or scissor's jack under it just to change my oil, and ramping it defeats the angle needed to drain the oil. Forbid if I get a front tire go flat ! ! !
I removed the nose panel which was really easy since it had been detached on the sides and I removed it (with just the top screws) so I can more easily change the radiator and AC evaporator.
But before I put it all back together: I want to raise the front end to an appropriate level but I cannot find any Odyssey consumer repair manuals and need someone to direct me the best way to access the front strut adjusters.
I appreciate any offerings. Joe :smile:
