Hi,
Last weekend, I noticed my real wheel was making creaking noises:

It used to do that before, but I fixed that by tightening the loose nut number 16:
However, the nut was still tight but the noise has returned, worse then before.
When I investigated the pumpkin, I noticed I could move the coupling (number 14) up and down a little and that to me can't be good.
After the pumpkin was disassembled, I found out there`s a lot of free play when only having the needle bearing in (7) and not the other (10):

I assume this is way too much?
Also, I found some markings on the cogs mating surfaces:
Is this an issue?
Next, the big bearing. Looks ok but makes a little noise. Should it be replaced?

Thanks!
