I used a pair of vise grips attached to the nipple to keep it from turning as I tightened the outer nut. You could install the nipple from the outside and turn on the other nut from inside the barrel but that is really cumbersome and it's quite tight quarters!
Thats what I'll be trying tomm. I'll have my bro for some help too. Thanks for the explanation and idea.
