Smitty Says:  No risk at all Tim if you can count.  Most people trying this try to count the turns in from where the nut starts.  That ain't gonna work unless they get darn lucky.  Mark the nut and case.  Than turn it in until it stops.  Count the notches and halves (if any).  Write down the number.  Make a reference mark there.  Pull the nut out and change the O ring.  Put the nut back in till it stops and allign your reference mark.  Then back it off the number you recorded turning it in in the first place.  Number of successes doing it this way, in the teens at least.
