Sta-loks question

[seawolf]

Hello all,
As usual, I think of something after I finish my thread.
Since when installing the fittings, you turn the eye end of the fitting while holding the cylinder end, my option of loosening the rig and trying to tighten the fitting by turning the cylinder, while the eye fitting is still connected may not be valid,
The eye end may need to be completely disconnected and turned while holding the cylinder as in the assembly instructions.
Is this the proper assumption?
Thanks again in advance for your thoughts on this.
Bob
