Reminds me I must dis/reassemble mine this winter- they've been together a few years. I use a wooden dowel as a drift to knock the rod out from the inside - keeps all the spacers and stuff joined up for reinserting the rod.

I used grease to hold "large washers" in place..... Because I'd bought another couple of rods, I found that inserting one rod from "radiator end" and then another from inside the car to line everything up worked reasonably well.
The final piece of the jigsaw (spacers etc) I found the trickiest to get in... I found that using one of the large washers was the easiest final part to push in and line up.
I have to admit to using a rubber mallet to tap the rod fully through. All seems OK.
I remember using Guy's technique 1st time around and that seemed to work well too.
Good tip ref tightening when it's on the deck... Many thanks.
