Then, you screw it back together. But you first need to CCW turn the male end a couple turns while not letting the female end spin, so that when you screw it back in, it doesn't have a natural tendency to unscrew itself. It's then in a relaxed state you might say.
Reinstall on the seal and verify it's proper resting place all the way around.
You can practice your cut on your old seals spring.

I've had no issues with the 2 or 3 I installed with a hammer and wooden punch.
But recently I became sophisticated and made a special tool (milled an aluminum spacer instead of using a PVC pipe), and I used Curil T sealant, and that one has been leak free for 1000 miles. It's installed just to the depth of the chamfer.
