[TR] Front pinion bearing TR3A

[terryrs at comcast.net]

Hello, everyone.

I have the car in the air for other reasons, and decided to add the pinion sleeve and put in a new pinion seal to cure a small leak.  While there, I notice the pinion shaft coming out the front does wiggle up and down.  

Question 1:  is it relatively normal, or do I need to replace the front pinion bearing.

Question 2:  can you remove the bearing with the differential in the car, and how?

Thank you, everyone.
