Probably putting in new springs. Happened to me too b/c i've never done a spring install before.

If you can't work it back in, you'll need to break the clamp on the cv boot, pull back the boot, and then line the bearings up into their slot. That's what I had to do. It sucks, but at least I learned from my mistake!

EDIT: If you do this, please be sure to repack with the appropriate grease and install a new, appropriate clamp.

The boot is the ribbed rubber fitting that goes over the two axle pieces. You only need something to cut the clamp (we used pliers/wire cutters) and whatever tool is required to put on the new clamp.
