I don't think anyone has talked about getting the anode rod back in. I always find it a bit difficult to start the threads because rod sticking out on one side makes it is unbalanced. I find it helps to put the nut part into a socket attached to a small extension bar to balance the weight of the rod, then it starts much easier. (BTW, you will probably need to buy the proper size socket, it is worth the investment, even if you only need it once or twice a year - this one of those cases where the proper tool is almost mandatory.)
