Humvee m998 differential output shaft play

[Hummermark]

Hi, if you have up and down movement on the output flange (I.e the brake disc rotor) of a Humvee, no oil leaks, flange nut is tight. How do you get rid of this play?

It's causing no problems, no noises, I just noticed that of the four output shafts one has play.

Thanks

Old thread, but related-

My M1123 front differential INPUT s seems to have a good amount of play, about 1/2-3/4” of rotation before hitting resistance (wheels on ground, parking break set). This can make a “clunk” sound occasionally, but it’s small and hard to notice. This is a new one for me, should I be looking at cracking the pumpkin and re-setting the backlash or is this normal as well? How much play do these usually have?

For what it’s worth, this seems to be roughly the same amount of play into and out of the T Case and rear differential, but I only hear it occasionally from the front. No front to rear play, no slip at the joints(all lubed), but rotationally there is 1/2-3/4”.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I just realized the OP was about the output shaft, my play is in the driveshaft into the differential.
