This is the steel rod, remove it by heating a paper clip until it's red hot and then using it to melt away the plastic that holds the rod. http://www.zshare.net/download/2237754e814a3c/
This is the valve once the rod has been removed.

Now that the steel rod has been removed drill a hole were the rod was so you can tap the hole for your vent fittings.
he bottom rod is a piece of paper clip and the vertical steel rod is the main sprinkler rod.you can see the copper fitting that i tap http://www.zshare.net/download/2237893830b324/

this is the finish setup all epoxy together now put the sprinkler together without worrying about how to attach your blowgun with the steel rod getting in the way.
