Many CV and auto trans questions for 2009 LT2
Ive spent the better part of an hour trying to find more specific posts with no luck so maybe someone can point me to some.
Have 09 LT2 with the 2.4 auto and 180k miles.
Both Cv's need done cuz their clicky so bought 2 new AC delco shafts and decided to do a trans service with a new pan w drain plug,filter,gasket and also a HD cooler that I plan to hardline away from the radiator with a bender and steel lines/fittings myself to the new cooler.
The cooler i want to do because I live in Phoenix,Arizona and the car is driven for delivery service 200+miles a day pretty hard on this car in super hot conditions.
Trans has been serviced twice before so im hoping its not an issue this time,my main concern is half shafts since i havent done them before and also if theres anything else like seals or bearings i should be replacing as im doing this so I dont have to do it twice.
Nothing is leaking,no boots broken,no play anywhere,the car has been maintained very well,its just high mileage and the clicky cv's are driving me nuts.
I have most the tools and am mechanically incline just mostly with Rear drive.
I keep reading something about axle stubs,special tools and clips ect and was wanting clarification on those things and if I should aquire them before I get started.
Any other help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the site!
After you set the car on jack stands and ensure it is secure
Remove the axle nuts to get the outer end loose then gently pry the inner end from the transaxle using a large pry bar.
No special tools needed.
The torque on the new axle nut you're going to use is 155 ft lbs.

is there any axle seals or clips or anything like that should be replaced with new?
Also do you have any idea what the exact name of the tool is I need to remove the axle stub from the passenger side?
Other article says bearing breaker but none of the tool shops here know what that is...im assuming it may be a different name.

Always replace the axle seals, you might get away with it be not likely!
I have seen a bearing puller slide hammer and an adapter to engage the stub , but you shouldn't need to remover that just the drive axle
