Not sure what the torque spec for the big nut is but don't over-do it, 20 ft lb may be more than enough. The floppy rubber gasket can tend to squish out.
I solved it with a machined aluminum adapter that uses an O-ring.

Thanks for the tip about over tightening. Hopefully it will work and I won't be cleaning up a mess.
