no; best change the bearing; only cheep an worth doin; if y got a vice y can press old'n out and new'n in,

As muppet says new bearings makes sense, a few quid and very easy to change. Also if your feeling play in and out that will disappear when you tighten up the nut in the clutch bell which pulls the tree up against the endplate.
