Did the broomstick work on reassembling the connector?

I got the connector open without a proper tool. Putting it back together was not that easy. I had to machine a hosetool in a local machine shop. It also helps if you put silicone grease on the threads.

I assembled everything with help of the broomstick as well, it worked flawlessly. The diameter of my broomstick was 21.7mm but could maybe be a little bigger. I now think of chopping off a piece and put it in my "divers toolbox"
