They're not horrible to replace, but I think that noise it makes when it comes out is normal.... Actually the hardest part might be finding a new tray to replace it with.

If you have a very early model fat ps2 then i would suggest getting a newer one anyways if the drive bothers you as just replacing the tray in these models will not solve the problem likely. You might even have to replace the entire drive assembly, and honestly with the cost of a ps2 nowadays, I wouldn't even bother, either live with it or buy a new one.
