that's scary if two screws just pulled out, on one cv joint/flange ,
without unscrewing them.

that would mean only four screws holding that one on.

It's a good idea to check the torque of the screws after running for a
while..
say a few hundred miles.

I'd be putting in a good used stub axle myself if two of the screw holes
were stripped out.
