Yeah, best of all I have NO CLUE how that happened. It was working fine the last time I used it which I think was October. So is it a bad disco? Assuming that it is.

Uh, that's just normal wear, dog. Time to tear into it. At min you will need 2 new bearings and a seal. More likely it will be more than that.

I had to cut a hole threw both layers of my strut tower to allow access to the damaged spark plug thread. Once I had straight on access I was able to tap the threads clean and install the spark plug. Using hole saws, I had made a larger hole in the front piece. The cut out from the front piece was close to the right size to fill the back plate. I made a new plate for the front strut plate. I decided it was enough excitement for one day. Hopefully I don't have anymore of these issues.

Replaced Idler pulley, I think it was original 
and got rid of that noise
and made it easier to pinpoint the noise I've been chasing, looks like the power steering pump pulley
now I need to figure out if I have to replace the whole thing

The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.

Same goes for the 35mm. That way you can re-use the oem nut and save yourself the need to buy a 36mm socket.

Same what? You can't use the 35 mm on aftermarket 36mm nuts...
You are not supposed to reuse those nuts, I sure would not use them on another cv.
Simplest is to get a 36mm socket so you can use it on either stock or aftermarket and do not have to buy a 35mm.
