Hi,
I have the same half shafts on my car and just have rebuilt a few joints. Not to worry, when you get the boot kit you will get the grease, end cap, boot and pull ties for the boot. If you are doing the inner boot, do the outer while you are at it. Cheap $12 insurance. I always completely clean out the joint and then repack with new grease. When you get the joint off of the shaft just dont let it come apart, it is a pain the first time to reassemble. Lay it flat on wax paper to repack and it'll be easier. I think that the boot kits i got from pelican last time were Lobro brand so that is a plus. Any boot is going to rip eventually, try not to get any kind of cleaner on them, it will dry out the rubber. I stayed with allen head bolt, most people say to replace when you rebuild.

Paul
