I think the column has collapsed if you hit the shaft removing the wheel, possibly why the bottom bearing is moving .
Bearing is fine. The shaft is still centred inside the housing and the race is not hanging out, like it was before I rebuilt the column a couple of years ago.Might have to wriggle the lower shaft I wonder if I have pushed on the bearing two days ago when I was trying to pull back on the wheel.
