...and to add - removing the flanges doesn't mess up any adjustment within the differential.

The only point to remember is that there are shims used to make sure that the C clips that hold the flanges in place are "snug". I say snug - these clips need to be really tight so that the flanges can not wobble about (and mess up the tightness and meshing of the smaller differential cogs in the cage)
