Default Problems putting RSX suspension back together

Lowering springs were installed, and the shock was put back in. We secured it in the shock tower and got the ball joint for the steering back on, but when both front brakes dropped, the joint inside the rubber boot where the axle meets the motor cam apart. From past expierence, when the axle is out of the car, this is no big deal, but we cant get it back together like it is, with everything still attached. Any ideas?

damn, I hate that part. I usually tie the brake assembly to something so the axle won't pop out. Sorry!

This worked for me I suspended my passengers side hub assembly and it still pulled a little to far and came apart. Just turn and turn while pushing and it will go back in. It scared the **** out of me when it did it though.

keep turning it so you can find how it pops in other than that... rip out the cv boot pop the axle back in and get an new cv boot to put back in there
