There are three (3) bearings that have impact on the Input Shaft
* 9001305-0001 Bearing, Ball - Rear
* 9001355-0001 Bearing, Ball - Mid
* 9001455-0002 Bearing, Needle - Front (Charge Pump)
Both Ball Bearings would require dismantling the entire Hydro Unit for replacement
The Needle Bearing can be easily changed out once the Charge Pump is removed.
IMHO......The "play" in the Input shaft can only be determined when all three bearings are in place. Feeling for movement with only the two Ball Bearings would be inaccurate.
Lastly, the Sunstrand Hydo is almost a "bullet proof" unit. I have NEVER heard of anyone replacing the inner Ball Bearings. I have only heard once, the replacement of the Needle Bearing in the Charge Pump.
None of us are there, seeing, observing, and feeling this input shaft. So, if you think the bearing(s) are bad, worn, and/or need replacing, by all means, do as you see fit.
