Also, I think I may have pulled the cv joint apart? I don't know what it looks like inside but I think I either broke it or pulled it apart. I guess I have to get in there and look. I just doesn't seem right to me. Any advice on that?

Don't use a home depot bolt if you can help it... HD stuff tends to be low-grade crap, and you really don't want the brakes falling off. Ask sybir how that works out for you. Get a new bolt from the dealer. They're not too expensive.
It's possible to pull CVs apart. I know I accidentally yanked one apart on my SVX's axle. I had to pull the boot off and replace some damaged circlips in there after putting it back together. It's a messy PITA.
