I discovered my Drive Shaft Support was cracking and the Bearing had a ever so slight rough spot. So I decide to change those.
Then I discovered the U-joint issue and decided that If I did not fix the U-joint it might stress the new Drive Shaft Support.
So one thing lead to another.
It could be that the detent issue would not have caused a problem (I had vibration issues before).
Now I have to find or make a 46mm wrench or the similar SAE size as the Wrench I loosend the Drive Shaft Collar Nut is not suitable for tightening it.

Speaking as a drive shaft newbe, it looks to me like you have EXTREME detentnes if the stub shaft hangs straight out as in your pics. mine was just a couple notches above barely detectable so I put it back together. I did fight my way through 3 inches of snow and freezing temps to attempt too check for detente in a parts D/S, which I couldn't find.
