bending drive shaft while pulling motor 1983 N/A

Hey guys i just pulled the motor out of my 1983 944 n/a to swap it with a 1985 1/2 motor. After i had the motor out i spun the drive shaft while looking at the shadow behind it and noticed the shadow moves slightly up and down as it spins. I was just wondering if it is easy to bend a drive shaft while pulling the motor and if that is what i have done.
Also wanted to give a special thanks to forum member Timmay! For all the help with my timing and balance shaft belts seals and rollers replacement and for hooking me up with a bunch of parts. A very knowledgeable man when it comes to these 944s.

Tim is THE man when it comes to 944s.

Try and measure how much the shaft wobbles when you spin to see if it's worth worrying about
