Yeah, the problem was that I had progressed from scared to do the job, to confident, then crossed the line to cocky and didn't double-check all the steps - like line up the key hole. Now I also noticed my outer ball joint needs to be replaced, so I think I'm going to tackle that in the next couple days.
Sadly, that might be one of the last repairs I do on this car, the rust is started to creep up everywhere, and I'm not sure I can fight it much longer.
