Hey Josh, I cant seem to get the link to work. I am interested in this as I too have a squeal in the rear. Mine occurs after the car has been driven for about an hour at highway speeds. After I stop, then take off, particularly when making a left turn I get a grinding squeal coming from the left rear. I am thinking either new teflon washers (or lack of) or change the dif lube with posi additive. I had the hubs changed about 8-10K miles ago.
Kinda like I will get to it one of these days but that day hasnt come yet.

Did you try rotating the half shaft to give you a better shot at the bolt?
I've had them off my 92 a couple of times. Didn't use any locktite when I reassembled.
Good luck!

At that point it doesn't take much more to remove the knuckle. Of course, then you're going to want to replace the bushings. And while you're in there....
