Was the last turn into the valve near impossible for u guys ? I can't get it all the way around again so that only one tread shows on the adapter.

If you don't have the muscle you will have to use the a wrench. Make sure you are using the wrench at the elbow not at the tank adapter. Also put a piece of cloth around the elbow that way the adapter does not scratch.

Most importantly, do NOT use the power tube for leverage. You'll likely break it.

On mine, there is about 3 threads remaining and it is fine. I put alot of locktite on it though. Between the 3 threads that you need to put locktite on you should use all of the little bottle that comes with it. That is all that you need.
