Regarding the stop, forget the rubber and use something that gives a NO GIVE positive stop. A bolt up from the floor to act as a pedal stop, or weld a nut to your pedal and put a bolt in it with the head as the stop against something solid, not the rug, hard againt hard.
If your leak is from over extending the ram, you have a problem. My suggestion is while your disc is drying out from cleaning, contact your bearing manufacturer and get a seal repair kit. Better yet send them the bearing and have them put it back together. Trust me this is no easy job, as they must have special tools to put the seal in.
Then, when you have the trans back from the bell housing or out. put you lines through the clutch arm hole on the bell housing with the bearing attached. Pull the bearing out of where the trans mounts and take two 3/4 pieces of wood, pine is fine. Put one in front of the bearing and the other on the back side. Now hold them gether with a PAIR of C-clamps. Now bleed your system. One of the problems with bleeding this type bearing in the car is that it pushes against something that moves, the diaphragm and it makes getting all the air out difficult. When you bleed all the air out and press down on the pedal as hard as you can, the bearing will probably imprint on the wood but you will not have any air in the system.
