Step 5Bend the rod
I found that the rod bent easily. You can use your knee or thigh to help massage the bend.
Be careful, the rod is relatively soft metal.
It's always easier to bend it a little bit at a time, than to unbend it if you've gone too far. (ask me how I know)
As you work, stop and screw the ball onto the end and test fit everything to verify the angle you want.
Please keep in mind, that whatever angle you choose to bend the rod, it will still need clearance to be spun back into the valve assembly. If you bend it to much, it may hit the side of the tank when you go to screw it back in.
