Stand the axle on it's end traight up. Use a regular size hamer and hamer the upper end (to be safe, put a piece of wood on top so you won't damage the threads). It should pop right back in

I had to remove the boot on mine (what a mess) because the joint came completly apart. I aligned everything, which took some doing and used the above described hammer method.
Zip tied the boot back on and everythings been working fine for some time.
