Post Annular Drive Axle Service

I found a pair of annular axles, bought them and service them using M-B grease boots & clamps, I had a Mechanic I know install them for me and he neglected to tighten the 8MM inner joint to flange bolts.....

Luckily I was pulling up to a stop light when one let go so no thrashing around nor damage .

Imagine if I'd been on the freeway going 85 when an inner end came loose ! .
