Hi RPM
You say there is “play” in the fan spindle. Is it definitely lateral play or just longitudinal? If the latter this can be taken up by taking off the fan blade and tightening the nut on the end of the spindle. It may well be a good idea to do this anyway as if you feed in too much grease it may just come out via a loose felt bush.
From memory I think the spindle is 1/2”. You may be able to borrow a reamer from a club member. I’ve just done this job and the bushes definitely needed reaming after fitting.
Cheers
