Need Help Fast, I Think I Popped My Axel
ok guys, me and my friend were gonna install new shocks and springs, so we unscrewed the 2 bolts that held the shock and the rotor/axel together, i dont remember letting the rotor fall to its lowest, we gently let it down as far as the thing would go, then we decided to just **** it and take it to a shop. and now the damn rotor/axel wont push up 10 degrees to fit into place w/ the shock so that i can put the 2 bolts back in. i tried shaking the rotor and messing w/ it so i would push up but no luck. any ideas!?!?

I accidentally dropped my rotor before I could support it with a tire, I felt something pop apart inside the axle also. It will take a while, but if you move it around enough, you can get it back in. It took me probably 30 minutes to, but I eventually got it.
