I Hate My Gearbox - Transfer Box Bearing Play??

1. Should there be play? I am talking a couple of millimeters. I suspect there shouldn't
2. Is there a bearing located here?
3. Is it easily replaced without removing the transfer box?
4. To remove transfer box do I need to take the sodding gearbox out again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have recently replaced the clutch in my 200TDI and on a long journey I felt vibrations at certain speeds.

After searching the forum I checked the UJ's and Props. All were good but there is play, (vertical) at the front prop as it exits the transfer box.

Question;

1. Should there be play? I am talking a couple of millimetres. I suspect there shouldn't. No.
2. Is there a bearing located here? Yes.
3. Is it easily replaced without removing the transfer box? Yes.
4. To remove transfer box do I need to take the sodding gearbox out again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! N/a

There is no oil leaking so I will check the oil level when I have a spare minute or two as it could quite possibly be empty - I have only just brought it and not had time to do a complete service from bumper to bumper.
