There are several places where MB uses loctite. The steering wheel screw and bolts that secure the tailgate shocks on the wagons. The locktite can be melted by applying heat from a micro torch or a smoke wrench. If you have access to a smoke wrench, you could apply heat with a long flame right at the point the fastening bolt goes. Of course in this situation you will have to careful of a grease fire unless you flush the rear end.

Good choice to put on a new boot now. I just took a trip down memory lane and opened the MB shop service manual for the 108, 109, 111, and 113 series. As a reminder follow step # 8 under installation for job # 35-5 carefully. That section explains OBEN and the placement of the hose clamps. If you don't follow these directions, you will destroy the new boot while driving.

Good luck,
Peter
