I spent THREE hours on one yesterday and still didn't get it RIGHT.

My knuckles are still bleeding from last week's attempt.

Still bleeding from last week's attempt? Honestly, that's some next level dedication. Might be time to switch to pillows or something.

Consider the battery shield itself might be bent from the factory. Had one with a slight warp that made every bolt feel cross-threaded. You can fight the tool all day but sometimes the part is just wrong.
