Sitting next to the pool hiding from the sun, so a quick update was in order! The bearing had in fact only moved about a millimeter, and after having removed the input and output shafts I had enough space to lie the plate flat and give the bearing a good wack in (with a drift of course). That was sufficient to have it sit back where it should be, and I can't find any sign of wear on the bearing so it's staying in.
The small cog on the input shaft (part of the shaft) was showing some pitting and the dogs at the other end of the shaft also had some wear, so I sent photos to Nova, and they confirmed everything is normal, so it's all going back in. We'll just have to see. The only real "problem" identified was the loose shifting barrel screw so I'll loctite that up and hopefully we'll get back to a sweet shifting box.
