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 Smile
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.
