So I was taking my shock/spring assembly out of my RT on the passenger side, the bolt on the fork got stuck so I decided to seperate the upper ball joint. But when i did this i pushed down too hard and pulled out the axle. now i cant get it back in or get the axle nut off. any ideas?

    There is a c type ring on the inner part of the axle.
    Make sure the axle is feeding into the trans straight, where the axle nut is make sure that is straight as well and and give it a whack with a rubber mallet. Should pop right in. Good luck!

    If you're trying to get the axle nut off try sticking something in one of the fins of the rotors and that'll lock it up so you can pull the axle nut off. Good luck.

    Thanks for the replies guys, I actually figured it out. I had seperated the axle and had to pull it out and re-assemble it. (Very messy job btw) I actually did exactly what you said spinout, I stuck a flat head in the rotor "fin" in the opening in the caliper so the caliper held it still and got my breaker bar and boom it came off easy. :)
