Thank you for this! Do you think it's normal for one to be loose and the other to be very very tight? I didn't think it lying on it's side was the right way. I made them both the same like...

Update:

I came across this device and am not sure what it is... Is this required? Does anybody know off the top of their heads what it is? Should a hose be connected to this device I wonder?

Awesome! Just learned a few things. Those lines are air lines, confirmed. So the top one on the left just pop it off and connect the vacuum gauge and get exact measurements. I like it! Thanks fdryer!
