Tom,

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

I understand now. So it seems that the travel limiting ring is there for a falls sense of security. Sure the bearing can't come apart, but the seal will blow anyway. LOL. For this reason it is always a good idea to have an adjustable pedal stop.

As for the bearing, my Quarter Master bearing has a light press fit on the housing. It will not just slide off.
