One thought is to swap ends of the one shaft on the side making the noise. If the noise goes away or the click/squeak frequency changes, you got the problem isolated. You swap ends and the thrust surfaces are reoriented to unused surfaces.

Now, I have only read about this trick but never tried it. Bummer is, for the same amount of work, you could have a new "turnkey" shaft installed.

If you have a pnuematic ratchet with a hex drive, the task would not be too bad.
I've taken the CV on and off on the other side, so I am familiar with the task. Greasy! I may try that tonight.
