Oh, maybe it is because you used steel wool. You should use 400 -600 sand paper. Wrap your hand around the tube w/ sandpaper in between and spin tube back and forth throughout the whole tube. To get a cross-hatch pattern. This will usually get rid of those up/down scores from debris. That might be what has caused a leak so soon. Steel wool won't work good enough. And yes, you have to remove the bushings. Easy though.
