<< who makes good drills these days? --- Cleveland Twist. (Wait, if you mean drill motor, Milwaukee)

do i need an extra-long one to reach into that space inside the trailing arm? --- Or a drill extension.

is it possible to do this drilling without damaging the cv's boot? --- It depends on how careful you are. If you have any doubts, use a couple of layers of duct tape to protect the boot.

my new cv joints didn't come with retaining rings, how bad is it to reuse the old ones? --- Not ideal, but, done with care, possible.

any advice on where to get a 12point driver socket? --- NAPA >> George
