do you have pins in the outer axle shaft where the hex clamps on? sounds like you are missing a pin somewhere. either at the yoke or the end of the axleshafts

Is the yolk tightened on the output shaft with 2 set screws? There's 2 holes tapped, use them both, (set screws are cheap). Sounds like your set screw is loose and the shaft is just spinning.
