Tacoclaw is right, if the gear hasn't moved, you're ok.
If you didn't lock the pump before you took it off, thats ok, too. You will just have to rotate the IP shaft and woodruff key to align with the keyway.
Before I snugged down those nuts I took a pick and felt that the woodruff key was seated in the groove. Also, before I installed the woodruff, I peened the round side so it fit snug in the groove. (Probably not necessary, but the way my luck runs, it would have fallen off installing it)
