WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac G5 and 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Note orientation of the internal gear before removal. It must be installed in the same orientation as it was assembled to prevent possible final drive noise.
IMPORTANT:
The fretting ring (119) is in the case ring groove. Do not remove the fretting ring unless it appears damaged.
Remove the final drive internal gear (118).
