Tom, did you press off the actual bearing or was it on there kind of loose?

Andrew, What I meant to say was that if he was not using a pedal stop, the travel on the master cylinder allowed the RB to reach the end of its stroke. (held in place by the snap ring) Since the fluid doesn't compress, it continues to flow through the RB and out around (and damaging) the O ring in the process.

Tom,

My experience with RAM is they are all like that. The bearing comes off really easy.
