Did you remove the belt before you "yanked and pulled on the pulley's" ??
You won't feel slop normally on sealed ball bearings (unless the bearing if literally falling apart), but if you spin them unloaded - ie with the belt removed - you may hear them rattle and the balls feel gritty as they roll over the pitted surface of the race.
You will find play on a worn water pump bearing, but again you will have to remove the belt to make certain.
