Ok my engine is out and apart and I noticed that the input bearing sounds like it is dry and has a light grinding/scraping noise when I turn the shaft. It is not a hard grind or crunchy. Is this normal?

Here is the big question I have. Since my manual is some aftermarket thing that doesn't tell me much by way of technical data, ..........
Does the input shaft bearing come out the front of the case easily or does it require a gear case tear down to get it out and replace it?
