So i got a problem. Was working on the front end on my hatch. And i had the rotor sitting on the edge of a milk crate to prevent it from dislocating. And i took the bolts off for the upper control arm and the rotor had to slip off the crate, and the axle dislocated on the inner side. Anyone know how i can put it back togother?

unless the little well when i say little i mean in comparison to the other parts the rollers in the axel also fell off from where they should go you should be able to "pop" it back into place this tends to happen to me before and i was able to just line it back up and give it a quick pop however ive taken an axel apart so if those runners(ball bearing things) have misplaced themselves youll have to remove the boot cover and fix it...

do i need a special tool for the boot clamps? And a picture of the tool will help. Thanks man

you can't re-use the boot clamps, so cut them off if you can't unbend the tabs. pick up new ones at a parts store

ohhh, didnt know that. Thanks for letting me know, i would have found out the hard way ha.

if you are very lucky, you can try to put the ball bearings back into place. But it will take so long, it isn't worth the time to do this... unless you have tons of time on your hand.
