The method of attaching rods to bellcranks varies with the make of guitar, as well as the method of attaching bellcrank to shaft.
I'd start by removing a pullrod from a bellcrank, pull it from the guitar, then put it back. Take pictures.
Then look at https://www.steelguitar.com r.com/rodding.html and the charts it links to for ideas on how to rod the new changes you want to install.
Then remove the rods on one lever at a time, loosen the bellcranks, slide them to the new location, tighten the bellcrank to the shaft, and reinstall the pullrods.

| Good suggestion by Lane...also on the http://steelguitar.com/ website, click on "Tweaks" at the top of the home page and then click on "Adjustments". A lot of good info on adjustment theory which you may find helpful for your new setup. |

We like to think of ourselves as "the filling", Chris 
Another thought on the re-rodding etc...you might want to take some close-up photos at a few stages along the way just in case you need to reverse a process or post them on the Forum for assistance. |
