Play in front diff bearings

How much play is acceptible in the front diff output bearings? My car started making a thumping/vibration somewhere in the front. I haven't been able to nail down the source yet (car is on the lift right now), but I did notice there's a fair amount of play where the axles come into the front diff.

Also, can those bearings be changed with the tranny in the car? Subaruparts.com lists them at $55-ish each, plus seals, etc. But if the whole tranny has to come out...Might just start working toward the MT swap.
