I was replacing the suspension on the Fit today when I noticed that the drivers side strut wasn't going together like it should. There's a clean area on the inner part of the axle. The inner CV joint popped out of the cup part of the tripod joint!
I've got the axle lined up, but it just won't go in. I'm trying to force it with my hands, and it just won't. There are BFH's nearby, but this is a precision-ground joint.
Should I attempt to remove the axle in pieces, re-grease, and re-install? That seems to be the most straightforward thing to do at the moment.
