Are you sure its the big bearing in the rear drive, and not play in either the front or rear paralever bearings?

If it's the paralever bearings then you might get away adjusting them. But odds are they're a mess in there and need cleaning if not replacing.

I think there's a sticky from Steptoe explaining how to check if it's the big bearing or the paralever (or both

If there's still play while holding the rear brake on then it's paralever bearings as the pads will clamp the disc to stop crown bearing movement...there might even be play in both the crown and paralever bearings though.
Sherlock's paralever bearings are a good bit cheaper but Motorworks can do a price match.
