IMS DIY - SOS - I broke the LN Faultless Tool?!?

I am installing the LN Single Row Pro Retrofit kit using LN Engineering's M96 Faultless IMS Tool (kit), and the THREADED ROD BROKE during installation

Now the new bearing is halfway in, but I'm concerned it wasn't aligned properly because obviously I applied too much torque to snap that threaded rod.

I have another rod from the IMS PRO Tool Kit 106-08.13, so my plan is use that rod to extract the bearing (and flipping the chamfer-side to face the bearing). Before I do anything, I'm praying for Jake to chime in because:

1. Why did the bearing stop inserting? I loosened the mount bolts as described to float the plate and ensure proper alignment.
2. Will the lock ring be compromised?
3. Where did I go wrong?
