On every one I've seen, the short front rod AND the long rear rod either 
screws in or simply lays in a cup. If you're returning it, try some minor 
brutality to unscrew it. That fitting inside is bonded to the big rubber diaphragm and 
cannot have been put on before assembly of the can. Its probably just screwed 
in tight but of course, too much force will rip the rubber disc. Good luck,
