Yes, it is a little tight but that is the way I do it. Never had one leak, Yet.

EDIT: Have one of those expandable magent wands handy.

excellent edit there rick.
that bottom screw can be a PITA until you get it started.
also if anyone in aussie land reading this thread has a leaking tap and needs some
viton orings i have 8 left as i had to buy a pack they wouldnt separate.
would be more than happy to post them out.
