Default Water pump drive shaft has to play - is this normal

I am replacing all the timing cover seals. When I pulled the cover I noticed the water pump drive shaft has some play. It will move slightly from side to side. Is this normal or should I replace the bearing and is it sold as an assembly or just the bearing?

Thanks,

Jim

That's normal. Once the water pump and coupler is installed that movement will be gone.
