That much movement is absolutely wrong--wouldn't even run it for video. Pop the motor off again and look at or measure the worm gear as described in the bulletin. If gear is not sticking out the 3/8 inch or if you can grab it with pliers or something and move it at all back & forth, the ring has loosened.

Unfortunately, Packard just didn't plan on going out of business so the expertise and tools didn't have a chance to get to the real world in quantity. Had they been around a bit longer, even Sears might have carried tools. Once you ride in a properly functioning car, you'll be amazed.
