Dump valve extension rod came off

The dump valve extension handle came off of the black tank valve. The valve is inside of an insulated belly pan under the trailer. I was able to screw the extension rod back onto the threaded rod of the dump valve; however, the threaded rod (where I cannot access without removing the belly pan) would spin so I could not torque down the threaded connection.

Is Loctite the only way to secure the extension rod to the dump valve without removing the belly pan?

    I don't know the "ONLY WAY" answer, but if you do use LocTite, suggest you use Blue unless you know you will never need to take it apart again for any reason ever. Red is Bad to the Bone. Sets up fast and you'll likely break something on parts like a valve before it'll loosen.
