Question about raising forks in triple trees.

I’m thinking about raising up the forks 10-12mm on my V7III as discussed on the forum. Curious if I’ll prefer the difference in handling. I’m handy, but inexperienced with messing around on this part of the bike. Do I need to remove front wheel and slide up each side individually, or is there a safe way to loosen both sides and push them up evenly, together?
 
For anyone reading this in the future... I did this the other night, and it was very easy. I adjusted up 11mm and feel like I can throw the bike around a little more easily. If I’m honest, I’m probably not experienced enough to really feel the difference, and it might just be in my head. I can definitely say I didn’t feel anything after the adjustment that I liked less.

pro-tip: don’t forget to loosen the headlight bracket along with the triple trees on the side you’re adjusting. Do one side, tighten everything back down, then do the other side. Piece of cake.
