That little itty bitty screw may not even reach the air side. Just remember if you back it and it starts going swiiiisss, your not gonna be able to stick it back in. I carry a quality plug kit with me on the road. Plug it asap, The faster you go....the more likley it will sling out, nobody wants that.. Bill 1362
