Or should it be super tight. I’m just wondering if it’s shot…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the driveshaft off HD8s without loosening the diff. They usually develop play in the spline between the universal joint and the input shaft, but you can often eliminate it by running a cut off disc thru the clamp slot and tightening the bolt.
