The arm just pops right off at the ball joint. I then adjusted the green area (outward in my case) untill I had no more rattle.

That is the actuator that opens and closes the valve. I wired mine open. I wasn't aware you can simply remove it, but if you remove or tightened it, it'll keep the valves closed longer.
