current project is attempting to fix Speedometer issue, (replacing Driveshaft bearing/sleeve, seal, thrust washer and snapring) to much slop and eating the speedometer drive gear.

Universal joint cover was a b***h to get loose, in hindsight should have removed the floor boards and gone thru the top, the battery ground was connected at the top of the U-joint housing, is this normal or was it just easier when the car was being restored and no floor boards, any thoughts?

Also anything I should look out for in, when I pull the drive shaft out, (all ready dropped the diff.)
