If you're talking about what I'm thinking you're talking about, then its just a rubber donut that they put into there to seal it during shipping. If I remember, the directions said that you can either just push it in when installing the output shaft, or you can try to pull it out.

That's it, I always end up pulling them out, I fought the first once for over an hour and could not get it pushed far enough in....pull it and lube the yoke it it will slide right in.

I also pulled mine out and the d/s went right in. I tried to push the piece in as well but it didn't work for me either.

Just be careful to not tear/rip the rear seal.
