If so, yes, pull it and do it 'right' now, before it gets harder to do so. (As much as that may suck as a job).

I don't think the bearing was "extended partially". It's that the bearing can be pushed down by hand into the body of the assembly from its normal (uninstalled/out of the box) resting state. According to the Tilton tech person, the .125 buffer in the instructions should be from this bottomed-out bearing location to the clutch fingers. So once the system is bled the bearing in its natural resting position stays against the clutch fingers, and there is a .125 buffer for clutch wear before it bottoms out. Since I measured from the bearing's normal out of the box location, there is a .125 gap between the bearing and clutch fingers when installed, so I know the bearing is at least .125 too far back from spec. It still may work, but right on the ragged edge of the .45 needed for good clutch release. This evening I'll empty the hydraulic line and see if I can get something in there to push the bearing down to confirm.
