What do you mean there's no room to get the axle back?

Luckily I had my axle pop out a few weeks ago too so I can help out. Try putting your spare tire on and spin it SLOWLY and push at the same time. (with your car jacked up of course). When you feel a difference as you're spinning it, keep rotating on the area back and forth and it should pop back in :)

Where are you in Florida? Maybe I can swing by if you're close to me and help you out.

This worked for me... Except that I had to push like a son of a bitch to get it to pop back in lol.
