I dont know much about carrier bearing and watching some youtube videos dont see any great way to tell if they are good or bad. Looking at this video of my sxs does this seem like normal play in the bearing, or is it excessive.

Took the bearing out of the sxs, listen to this.

Anyone know how to remove the two bearings by chance?

Yeah...they are shot. Just replace them. The manual shows you how. Not hard.
