Sorry I got so mad earlier.  I am going to take it back to them and I am going to show them my problem.  If they cannot fix it, then I am going to exchange it or get my money back.

There are 2 nuts right? Tight together? Put a seperate wrench on each nut, hold one nut, and turn the other one *away* from the one you are holding. Then each nut will spin up and down the threaded shaft. On that model when the nuts are locked together the whole threaded shaft will unscrew. I have the same router, and this particular setup is quite frustrating to use. Ryobi sells an attachment that turns the depth adjustment into a twist to go up or down arrangement. It should have come with the router in the beginning.

If you go back to get a new one, get a Bosch if you can swing it. The wood handled set with a fixed and plunge base is especially nice.

I had one wrench to fit the nut.  I will go to home depot and get another one.  Do you know what size nut that is?

ChadTower:

Erm, buy the same size wrench as the one you were using already.

rdowdy95:
I got another wrench here at work that I am going to try to use tonight when I get home.  They have an easier part to use to do this I just wish Ryobi would of included this part for free.  It is a depth adjustment thing you put on the router.  I will go with two wrenches turning feature.
