CV boot fix on 5kcstq

[barry at moonbeast.com]

Good advice.  It looks like the correct axle-- got mine from Napa.  The parts 
I've gotton from them have all been good, even if the people working at the 
particular store local to me don't exactly put the "F" in "FLAPS".

I've been happy with the reman starter I got from them six months ago.

I've never been particularly impressed with Pep Boys or the parts I've gotton 
from them, though.  If given a choice, I'll take Napa or Otter-zone over them, 
of course YMMV.
