Do the  CV bolts require lock washers? Locktite?

Yes, lock washers are needed.  They are a  special flat serrated type used
only on the CV bolts between bolt head and the  support plate.  Do not use any
locktite on the threads.  Proper torque  and proper lock washers are all that's
needed to keep them from coming  loose.
