Wow, good tip! I have to do this chore soon and hadn't thought of that one.. Thanks.

This approach is not without peril, either. If you cut too deeply across the nuts you could damage the seating bevel or even cut through the alloy entirely. If you nick the threads a bit, that's Ok. The sealing is done inside the bore of the outlet, not the threads.
