Do you have a leak? If so then you will never be able to properly bleed the system hence a squeal. If that is not the problem then more than likely the bearings are going out and it is time to replace it.

I just replaced one from a JY for 30 bucks after numerous times trying to fix it. Forget the rebuild kits they are not worth it.
