This^^^ how i go about it and recommend if anyone asks my opinion. Is this really an issue for anyone? I know too tight can break stuff and too loose is dangerous but i dont know if this is an issue. Just never heard of anyone having problems. I am sure its happend though. Probably just jinxed myself
