Unless I am misunderstanding, don't you just screw on or screw off? Then get some loctite when you redo it and it should hold better. The one they sent me is red and called VC-3 Threadmate. I think you have an order with them so you could ask of they could include some when those ship. You can certainly screw them back together without it, but without the Threadmate mine have just become loose again over time so it does help. I believe Zach said you apply it to the threaded part of the rod, not a ton, and let it dry. Especially if you have a magnesium chassis, if you use it incorrectly and get it all over it's easy to remove the paint when you try to remove it.
