I feel for ya Brent. After my 3rd time stranded with an internal HTOB setup, I called it a day. You can peek up in there with a flashlight with someone pressing the pedal and you'll know in about 5 seconds or less. I wonder if you popped the seal out or just have a loose line/fitting. Ugh. If you fix it and re-use it, as you are probabaly already aware, make sure you are not overdriving the bearing itself and its adjusted with exact starting clearance to manufacturer specs. Good Luck with it.
