if the axle popped out then it wasnt in all the way, you'll feel it go CLACK when it snaps into place. get a brass hammer or a peice of wood and hold against the axlenut end of the axle and give it a good smack or 2 to knock it into place. i know my passenger side was difficult to snap in. if not, then try what lagos said, but try using a pry bar since it'll be longer and easier to hit.
