^^^ THIS.
That's how I got your gun together when I'd assembled it. Like I said in my previous reply, you shouldn't ever have to disassemble the rod at all. It should all install internally.
With real steel Hi-Capas, there is actually a tool that you can purchase, which is basically a shim that you would jam in between the rod and the bushing while the slide was racked back. That would lock the assembly in a compressed state, making removal and re-insertion much easier.
