how to eliminate free play of the rear axle

[joda56]

Yesterday, I worked on the rear brakes of my 29´ Phaeton and wonder about the free play of the axle. I can pull and push each brake drum about 1/4inch with the axle shaft tight in the brake drum. Is this play too much and where exactly arises that play, inside the differential? Where and how can I eliminate it? I didn`t found any shims for that at Snyders or Macs?
