Scott,
How is the arm play reduced without breaking the seal and opening the motor up?
Inquiring minds want to know...

No matter how big of a hammer you use, you can't pound common sense into stupid people, believe me, I've tried.

Although my name is not Scott...
Press the can bushing in and solder or glue in place based on your local rules.
Pappy, there is a post here on Slotblog about the tricks to the Deathstar hop-ups.

Maybe I just dreamt this, but I thought that someone said they solder a washer on the outside of the bushing.

They put a stack of washers between the bushing and the pinion

Even simpler? Make a brass motor spacer into a C ring and press it into the space between the bushing and the flange of the arm. Use a pair of tweezers to locate it and press it in. It will pop into place and stay there.
I've tried pressing the bushing in and the results have always been catastrophic (bending the can).
