Cv joint squeal-2009 chevy aveo

SOURCE: what is the procedure to

You don't need the special tools that they use in this procedure, you can use a hammer and a block of wood to get the axle out of the hub and you can use a pry bar to get the axle out of the transmisson.



Notice: Care must be exercised to prevent the constant-velocity joints from being over-extended. When either end of the drive axle is disconnected, over-extension of the joint could result in separation of internal components and possible joint failure. Drive axle joints and seals should be protected any time service is performed on or near the drive axles. Failure to observe this can result in interior joint or seal damage and possible joint failure.
Notice: Prior to removal of drive axle assembly, cover all sharp edges in the area of the drive axle with shop towels so that the seal is not damaged during removal.
Removal Procedure

1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
2. Remove the tire and the wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
3. Place shop towels underneath the outer joint to protect from any sharp edges.




4. Insert a drift (1) into the caliper and the rotor to prevent the rotor from turning.
5. Remove the drive axle nut (2) and the washer.
6. Remove the lower ball join from the steering knuckle. Refer to Lower Control Arm Ball Joint Replacement in Front Suspension. If you remove the right axle, turn the wheel to the left. If you remove the left axle, turn the wheel to the right.
7. Disconnect the wheel speed speed sensor harness. Refer to Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement in Antilock Brake System.
8. Disconnect the stabilizer link from the lower control arm. Refer to Stabilizer Shaft Link Replacement in Front Suspension.




9. Use the J 28733-B in order to disengage the axle from the hub and the bearing.
10. Separate the hub and the bearing assembly from the drive axle. Move the strut and the knuckle assembly rearward.




11. Remove the inner joint from the transaxle using J 33008 attached to J 29794 and J 2619-01 for the intermediate shaft, if equipped.

1. Install the drive axle (2) into the transaxle (1). Place a non-ferrous drift into the groove on the joint housing and then tap until the drift is seated. Be careful not to damage the axle seal or dislodge the seal garter spring when you install the axle.



Important: Verify that the drive axle is seated by grasping on the inner joint housing and pulling outboard.

2. Install the drive axle (1) into the hub and bearing assembly (2).
3. Install the stabilizer link. Refer to Stabilizer Shaft Link Replacement in Front Suspension.
4. Connect the wheel speed sensor harness. Refer to Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement in Antilock Brake System.
5. Install the lower ball joint to the steering knuckle. Refer to Lower Control Arm Ball Joint Replacement in Front Suspension.



Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

6. Install the washer and the new drive axle nut (2).
Insert a drift (1) into the caliper and the rotor in order to prevent the rotor from turning.
Tighten
Tighten the drive axle nut to 200 N·m (144 lb ft).

7. Install the tire and the wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
8. Lower the vehicle

If it were me, I'd just change out the half shaft like THIS.

On the other hand, if you want to rebuild the CV joint, go HERE.

SOURCE: I have a 2006 chevy

Nope, it seems as if your bearings in the top of the struts are gone, this will cause the same noise , also when you turn the steering wheel ,it will do the same.

SOURCE: How to remove CV Axle from Manual Transmission on 2002 cavalier

the axle just pulls or snaps out of the trans, it is held in by an internal round spring clip, they are a real bear to remove the 1st time, u must pull straight out with a sharp jerking motion to get them to release, be patient it will come out.

SOURCE: how to take apart a cv joint

Usually you can't get the parts for them anymore -- most places only sell whole halfshafts. However, I've pulled apart a few back in the old days when we did, and this is how. Remove the clamps that hold the boot on and slide it out of the way. Wipe some of the grease away so you can see. There should be a spring clip around the shaft going into the joint. There are two tabs on that clip at one point (usually an indent in the joint shows where the ends are). Squeeze them together with a pair of needle nose piers and pull the shaft out. It just pushes back together, and the method of installing the clamps on the boot vary widely as there are about 4 different kinds, but they are mostly pretty easy. Don't forget to put the grease in the joints before youinstall the boots. If it is tripot (outer) joint, they are pretty simple, but if you take the joint itself apart you risk losing lots of needle bearings. If it is a plunging rezeppa (inner) joint, be even more careful as they come apart even easier.
