Thats a tricky one to answer without knowing exactly how loose the pivots are in the holes, you are quite correct in saying there can be a bit of play. Does the clock still have the wood plates with the split type brass bushings? If they seem quite loose it will not do any harm to replace them, better to do it now while the clock is apart than put it back together and find things are binding because there is too much play.
