i need to replace the outer driveshaft rubber CV boots on the front of a 5 cylinder type 85.

is it a tool box job? or will i need any special equipment?

What's involved? And can i do it myself???

Anyone know what this 'Locking agent' is?

humm... The Haynes comic book say i "On coupe models with 2.2 litre engine, apply a locking agent around the splines in a band about 5 mm (0.20) wide at the end of the shaft, and also apply the locking agent to the threads of the driveshaft nut."

so what's a 'Locking agent' ??

and where do i get it?

Erm...Locktite or similar substance? (possibly Haynes is avoiding using a brand name?)
