alright almost finished. I need some help though.

1) I got the passenger side CV joint up on the intermediate shaft but it doesn't sit flush. Does the intermediate shaft sit flush with the inboard joint? Its locked on though.
2) i'm installing new ball joint boots on the tie rod ends because the other ones were torn up. Is their a way to install it without the tool specified in the manual . Tips would be nice.

Thanks yall

Alright back to square one. So my K24A1(106K Mi) engine is bad. Leak in the rear main and knock problems. I dont want to invest in this engine anymore so ill be swapping it out with another. Currently rebuilding a k24a8(17K Mi) from ground up. The valve head, and everything in the block is currently at a machine shop being inspected. I'm looking at purchasing lower gaskets and new piston rings when i get it back.
