2.7 balance shaft gear question

i am going thru my 2.7 in a 2008 base truck. putting the timing set on today and noticed the gear that transitions the rotation from the chain to the balance shaft gear has a lot of play. its the bigger gear that drives the gear attached to the passenger side balance shaft. looks like it has a replaceable bushing inside the gear that rides on a collar that bolts to the block. does anyone know if the bushing can be replaced? or do you have to purchase the whole assembly? is it a dealer only item? i can not find it online. thanks for any help

 

Heres a delete kit made by LCE

thanks, i am aware of the delete kit but have already purchased and installed all brand new timing components. i just stumbled onto the loose gear while rebuilding the engine
