Default End play in 400 style electric motor

New to electric motor flying. I was wondering if it is normal for the 400 and similar style motors to develop a bit of end play after a few runs. Would this be wear on the C clip? Seems to me if the C clip lets go, away flys the prop and the bell housing of the motor! And how does one remove those C clips, is there a specialty tool for this.
Thx, Gary

Is this a brushed motor or brushless?

It is normal for end play on a brushed motor.

"Is this a brushed motor or brushless? "

Brushless RedGN. I should imagine normal wear over time would exhibit some end play?
