I didn't know lol supposed to be hand tight.. anyway it made the nut and black piece break and crush into each other anyone else had this problem?

Never had that issue, because I always followed the directions on how to do it. It's all up on YouTube (as is pretty much anything you'd evver want to fix if you search for it). Since parts are no longer available for these wonderful little gems, it is important to do things right and not guess so you don't mess them up . . . .
These videos are of an older style, but they all work the same way - expect the black nut looks different since it does not have the auto lube system (that came later).

Yeah mine doesn't have the Allen key head bolt in the cylinder I'll let you know when I get it fixed should be Monday or Tuesday next week and very simple to fix.

I watched the video and decided since I had the cylinder already off to just go and rebuild it cleaned the check valve good and got all new o rings in it and Teflon tape I'm glad mine has the permanent ferrule on the air lines with the washer and o ring so you don't have to worry about the ferrule getting wore out and leaking.
