Thanks. I guess when the balls just fall out, it was time for a new CV.
easy questions indeed.

1. out. as in the direction of the wheel.
2. oil pan bolts are standard. (at least on the 2 Boxsters i owned).

the CV bolts falling off do not indicate the the CV need to be replaced, it just indicates they were not torqued every 30k mile as instructed in the service table.

after you complete the job, re torque the bolts after 500 miles or so.
make sure the bolts and thread are perfectly clean of grease before you put them back.
