Default Brakes HELP

Anyone live near harrisburg PA that could give me a hand with my brakes i am trying to separate the hub and i think i might have messed up im not sure but somethign isn't right i started to pull it apart but i didn't take the bolts off the back of the spindle and now the axle is sitting really low and on the control arm i think thats what it is. but also im even more screwed cuz i don't have a wrench that will freakin fit and it has to be an offset one any one with real experience on a 96 Accord ex 4cyl let me know please

i understand what he is saying but for me i was looking at the brakes tutorial that a guy had sone if u look at that what i did was took off the caliper and then i took the hub puller and put the bolt on the axle and started cranking and thought it would separate the hub and it was but the axle is now all out of wack and i never took off the the 4 bolts on the back of the hub ao the hub is partialy separated but the prob is i can't get the 4 bolts off the back cuz its to tight. i don't have the offset wrench and i didn;t put the nut back on the axle and i didin't put the 4 hub bolts from the front back on. Any idea what im saying

ok try this.................u got the 36mm axle nut out right????? if not this is what u do first u need a 36mm socket and a big pry bar. loosen the nut while wheel is on the ground, once loose, raise car up, remove wheel, remove the 2 17mm bolts for the caliper bracket, swing caliper assembly up and out of the way , take cotter pin out and the 17mm castle nut from lower ball joint, with a hammer hit the knuckle part where ball joing goes in to separate ball joint from knuckle,,,lift whole knuckle assembly up, tap on axle to get it off the hub slines, get a big screwdriver and pop axle out of the tranny ,,,now there are 4 19mm 12 point bolts on back side of hub u need a 10mm 12 point socket ,,, remove those 4 bolts, since u r replacing rotors get a hammer and hit the rotor the whole hub/bearing assembly should come out of the knuckle,,,,,,,once out u need ro remove those 14mm bolts we talked about last night once out take rotor out and put new 1 in .....
what u might have done is partially pull the bearing out ,u will need to hammer it back in and hope that it was not damaged
