Man, that has got to be scary.
I feared that big time when I did mine.
Good for you for not loosing your motor.
Sucking on the vac line to the shutoff will make it function, even if it is out of the car!
What I found was that it is subtle to get it on the lever, but if you give it a tug before you tighten it down, you can fell resistance.
It feels like it is caught on something, which it is.
