if your lucky you can push it back..just have to becareful not to crush any bearings. but if you want to do it the safe way, just take the boot apart and put it back together..but its gunna take some time, CV boots are evil to me! hate dealing with them!

ahahah once you get the clips off your gunna wish you never did, but all you need is a flat head. just slide it where it locks and bend it enough just so it loosens then use pliers or something to pry it lose. but putting it back on is where it's gunna **** you off!

if its the driver side then it'll be easier for you to take off the whole axle, there is a mount that holds the axle onto the engine, 2 14mm bolts take those out then the axle should slide right out the transmission, makes it alot easier.

yes, makes it alot easier putting it back on if you have a C clamp, and make sure when you put it back in your careful with it..because it could fall out again and **** you off! make you wanna kill someone!

what makes it soo much of a bitch is trying to get the clamp back on tightly how it was, yeah when you put it back in, it's just like taking it it out! should be easy puttying the axle back in, just make sure its all the way in...if its not it'll pop out on yea!

make sure your useing a 6 point socket not at 12 you wouldn't wanna strip those bolts. makes it easier if you have one of those adapters that can bend, i usually use an extinsion with it to.

worset comes to worse, just get a new axle if you go to auto zone, you can tell them you want a brand new axle and not a rebuilt one, they take 2 or 3 days to get in at most. and are completely brand new i think mine was 94 bucks after tax and all of that
