				half shaft is moving in and out of axle and pushing the brake disc against the outer arm of the calliper .
just taken the wheel and Caliper and disc off, and I can move the half shaft in and out the axle about a good 1/2"

				Sounds like a bearing and or back plate problem , you need to investigate a wee bit further, its not advisable to drive the vehicle in this condition.
Good Luck.
