Anyone ever rebuild a factory VLSD?

Two questions:

1. Put the two c-clips in the side gears while the diff is apart? Or leave them on the stub shafts?

2. The total side gear clearance measures .005" which is in spec, but if I turn one stub shaft by hand (and hold the drive flange) the side gears and spider gears feel really notchy or ratchet like. Is this normal? The GM and Ford diffs that I have built were not like that.
