Re: Is it possible to ??????
This answer is multifold to address your question and problem.
1. Yes it is possible to pull the pump . Some radiators may be closer than others but for the most part if you remove the belt and drain the coolant below head level the pump should carefully swing out. This is true even with studs in the head. That is a common misnomer.
2 . The slight pump play you have may not be a problem . Is it leaking? If it’s a leakless style and a-sealed front bearing it is probably pressed in and to fix the play would have to be slightly repressed to fix. Do you have the ability ? Time to evaluate if you install another pump. Is the fan tight? It had nothing to do however with the pump end play .
Not sure what you other symptoms might be other than the slight end play.
Advise of any other issues.
