ill bet you pulled it to far and it came apart. feel the boot on the drive ax and try pushing it back it.. if you pull it to far out it will lock up.. you may have to move the hub up and down for it to go back in.. oh and its on the Diff side of it

Did you pull the axle out on the other end by accident?

Sounds like the axle came out. If you do the install again you don't need to disconnect the upper A-arm on the back. just disconnect the sway bar from the body and push down. on the axle there is enough room to pull out/install the shock/spring assembly.

Yep, sounds like your axle came out. Try spinning/wiggling/pushing/magic. Usually it helps to have another person push the axle until it stops and hold it there. Then you can feel around on the rubber boot and get an idea of how to maneuver it in order to get it in the hole.
