Reposition closet rod

[BillATX]

Has anybody repositioned the hanging rod in the closet? I have an Elite 1 (2021 model). The hanging rod is too close to the door to be very useful for hanging clothes.

I have searched the forum for various topics, but haven't found any threads on this topic.

I wonder if anybody has done this mod?

TIA - Bill

We actually had Oliver change it during one of our early maintenance trips for stuff under warranty. My wife hated where they had it and I believe they changed it for free. Ours is a 2918 Legacy Elite I

About five years ago I changed ours to angle from the front right to the back left. This moved all the empty space from behind the clothes to in front of them.

Did you reuse the hardware to rehang the rod?  I am having difficulty removing the piece of hardware that is screwed directly into the shelf .  See attached pics.

Any suggestions for removing the screws that hold this piece of hardware?

For all those interested in this topic - note that the OP was originally asking the question about repositioning the closet rod in reference to the Elite I.

I did use the same hardware except I replaced the rod with one a couple of inches longer to compensate for the angle and I removed the shelf to work on it. That way you can turn it upside down. That will possibly make removing the screws somewhat easier rather than having to work from beneath reaching up.
