Well I picked up the bearings and the spring kit. Hopefully I can do it this weekend. The dirty sucker about locked up on me today on the way to the dealer ship. It gets real stiff when I take it out of 4x4 and unlock the hubs then it loosens up. I checked out the wheel by moving it up and down and side to side and there is some play there. Should there be any at all? How long does it take to remove the column, swap the bearings out and put it back in?

No, but you will need it to remove the upper part of the column to replace those 2 bearings. You may want to replace the bushings on your shift tube as well while you got it out (if you have an automatic trans.).
