- Mon Aug 16, 2010 5:46 am #209107 So I accidentally dislocated my axle lol the 3 prong knuckle popped outta the socket and I can't get it back in. Does anyone have any tips for popping that bitch back in?! I just waiting for that to drop my car back to the ground cause ball joint won't make it to the hole in the lower arm with the axle popped out.

Let me know

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Tue Aug 17, 2010 2:13 am #209234 I've had it happen a few times on hondas while swapping and there was only one time I was able to feel the parts through the boot and figure out that the bearing slid down and was able to press it back in. Then a couple hours later the same axle popped apart and I had to take the boot off. Fixing it the first time was beginners luck
Also, you'll find out that CV grease is some of the nastiest shit
