Default Oh damn I think I hosed my axle. Help?

I was changing my springs tonight and I guess the inboard CV joint on the drivers side became seperated. The CV boot looks all stretched out and the axle is "stiff" if that makes sense. It's has very limited movement...can I fix this easy or is it time to make use of the lifetime warranty?

If the bearings did not fall out from the three load points just give it a quick shove with the axle in a vise. The axle shaft should slide back into place and operate smoothly. It may take a healthy shove with a dead blow hammer.
