The nut only cost $10 with a rubber O ring. Just my 2 pence.

And for mine the nut was exactly the same and the rubber O ring is the weakiest link not the nut.

(removing the old O-ring first obviously) ?

There is plenty of room to move in their retail prices.....negotiate and save stuffing around trying to cut this off if you don't have the tools to do so.
