I didn't notice any before I pulled it out. I wish I had checked for that. I just hit the bolts with my impact to get them off, so I wasn't paying that much attention. It has a spring clip on it like the axle going into the outboard CV joint. Bentley shows using a slide hammer but I just used two cv bolts screwed through to push off of the differential housing. Very little effort. You're supposed to replace the circlip, which I did not, but I don't think that has anything to do with the play.

Did you notice any play before removal?? What did you have to do to remove the output flange?
