Rookie mistake, trans axle (cv axle) help Options

[94yotaGT]

Ok today was pulling out my passenger front strut and rebuilding with catridge type front assemblies from RocketScott (thanks guy!)

I thought I had propped the wheel hub nicely for while I broke down the old assembly and assembled the new one, but I apparently nudged the wheel hub when I was maneuvering the new assembly around the break-line and when the wheel hub leaned outward (away from the motor) it pulled the inner cv/axle spline out of the transmission. (I've read it may have never been properly installed or I might have a bad c-clip?)

Eitherway, I know it's a rookie mistake so I'm just looking for some opinions for Celica vets before I moved forward.

Good way to reinstall? Things I should check on?

- Edited for clarification

Got out and messed with it this morning (forgive the rookie speak)

It seems the axle has come out of the carrier bearing (where the three knobs insert into the bearing)



It would seem I\'m going to have to disconnect the tie rod from the steering knuckle and pull the whole dang axle out.

Any advice?
