Sounds like one of your trailing arms is dropping lower then it should, or one of your halfshafts is too short.
The output flanged click into place pretty tightly, they won't pull out without force.

May be the locking ring is missing ?
I was going to take a picture of it for you but i've just bust my digi cam by dropping a dif on it !
Any way................ if you pull the out put flange off and look into the inside of the dif just past the oil seal there should be a wire ring type thing, thats the locking ring.
