I'm not sure why your having a lack of play problems. It could be the bearing has fallen down. A easy way to check is to read the jpg attached and measure like the jpg says. Straight fwd and easy.

not that being said. when I fried my thrust bearings. the car stalled while the clutch was depressed. so unless your having an issue like that, i'd suggest leaving well enough alone.
if you are having problems then pull the motor and sort it out on the engine stand. it's actually easier to do things the right way.

Front covers, torrington bearings, spacer and the other bs can be done with the engine in the car. Once the new parts are installed don't install the front cover til you make the .0961 measurement shown in my first reply.
Can't get dial calipers in there. No room? Simple. Measure out .0961 on a piece of saftey wire/whatever and use that as the measuring gauge to determine if the parts/bearing has fallen down during assy. Then install the front cover..........check the .0961 once more and install the rest that was removed.
