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
