Hi,
Certainly, if all that play is from the bearing, it needs to be replaced. However, did you confirm there isn't an inner tie rod issue? When you wiggled the wheel, I see the outer tie rod appears tight. When you do this, is the driver's side tire moving as well?
You asked about the brake caliper. If it is applying pressure on the brake rotor, it will cause the rotor to overheat. That can cause what you are experiencing as well. I've actually seen them slowly apply the brake until the wheel was locked. However, if the brake is the cause, you should notice excessive heat from the affected wheel. Also, you would likely smell the brake pads from being overheated.
So, if that play is the bearing, yes, replace and adjust it.
I attached the directions for the removal and replacement of the bearing below. Take a look through them and let me know if this helps and if you did the driver's side in this manner.
Take care and let me know.
Joe
