What job are you tackling ? The driveshafts are best left undisturbed if removing the hub or hub/strut assembly for any wheel bearing/suspension work. Remove the driveshaft hub nut (very tight- need a long breaker bar) and then pull the hub off the drive shaft splines to free it (it should come off easily- use few taps on the end of the shaft with a plastic, rubber or wooden hammer to get it moving if it will not come off).

Tackling a bearing change, could a puller on hub assembly and pushing on driveshaft end help remove from splines

Preload should mean not movement at all.... a few microns is enough for a rumble,,, a 16th would be in danger of locking up or collapse... replace it... the bearing themselves are 20 quid for a quality one...

pull it out with a woodscrew and claw hammer and fit a new one... Make sure the hole is really clean before refitting AFTER the bearing goes in (the right way round)...
